Default air kits

When we install an air kit for pneumatic retracts, does everyone use the nuts for the nipples, or do we generally let the air hose stay attached by friction??

I pump it up to 100 psi..... if any connector pops off I put nuts on those

FYI..... Hobby king is selling air hose for about 85 cents per meter
I got some last week and it works fine lot cheaper than Robart.

Hobbyking is a bit of a gamble.... it can be good .... Sometimes bad [&o]

Everything was very good this time even the $3 Orange servos work look like copy
of futaba 3003's but orange in colour....No I am not going to use them in a $$$ patern ship [X(]
in funfly perhaps or a 2m glider perhaps. I also bought a retract air Switch
this was good too

Thanks John.




Robart gives nuts to screw over the the air lines on the nipples to the cylinders... I was wonder ing if anyone uses these, or just discard them.
