Default RE: new Arf Boomerang 14lb thrust

Here is the piston system which is simple and since it is out of the plane it was easy to photograph.
The valve you see is for adding oil in case it is needed and for filling the system with oil using a pump or a syringe.
It was made in a hurry just to see if the system will work and it did worked very well.
The photo is not that good but you can get the idea.
The output from the tee connector goes to the brakes.
There is also a nut barely visible that adjust mechanically where the piston starts to push oil.
If you do the piston system which is simpler and lighter you can buy the pump from Eurokit (not the one i used)

Product information RUO/34603/000
I will do the same later on because the turbine fuel pump is needed and i don't know if the motor will hold because during braking
the motor draws a lot of current since there is hardly any flow.
