Hi Q8,

Yes, gear works fine now. I also have 3 large tanks and I pump to 130psi. I always cycle the gear once on the ground before i start the turbine and then pump back up to 130psi. This ensures all my airlines are primed with air so when I take off I know there is no big delay with the system being primed. This is caused by the valves I use dumping all the air in the airlines when the RX is switched off.

I'm thinking of more power and bigger tanks.

What turbine is in yours? Do you have a picture of your tank setup too??

Cheers
Mark


Hi mark

im flying with a jetcat P-180 and i added another fuel tank 3.8L on top of the main fuel tank.i need a longer flying time. because of the p-180 fuel consumption. i used the alan boomerang fuel tank as an extra tank. which gave me 11 mnt's of flying time and about 3 more mnt's for go around and emergency.
here is the thread with the tank installation pics.
