if you purchased the T-1 from pacific and select electric retract it will be the JP retracts.That’s what I had on my T-1 and I now have the Electron to install....that should be happening shortly......and no way the JP will ever be as good as the electron, they are not terrible, but doesn't compare to the Electron....as far as controller and brakes.

Electron retracts
I plan to get a set for my FB L-39, 2.5m. Greg Alderman is the USA rep at [email protected]

In the Czech Republic. It was delivered today. I think Espritmodel in the US has them already in stock. ***winter***

Not a bid deal...I took a CB200 to muck up my Havoc SS installation....the fuses interior had a final coat of paint today...and the tray are getting painted as we speak, also doing the same things on a Ultra Flash (minus the Jeti stuff ) that I’m putting together.....so deeply in paint and sanding this week.....then reassembled both and be done with them....

This may not be the smartest question but, as they say, the dumbest question is the one unasked.....
With these jets, we're supposed to safety wire the fuel lines that attach to the barbed nipples. While I get the logic behind it, especially if one were to use Tygon, with the hard lines that we're using in the plane and the fact you have to heat it up and use a little lubrication to get them on, why do we need the safety wire as well? When I took my turbine off the test stand (and as they recommend), I had to cut the hard line off the nipple as it was not coming off. To be clear, I have safety wire and pliers, I'm just trying to understand the need or why Kingtech "requires" this now.
Thank y'all,
Scott

Also after a few years the lines don't always stay the same. They can get loose over time so safety wire takes care of that issue also. I safety wire stuff all day long on real aircraft. Half of the stuff does not need it but its easy to do and assures it wont be a problem in the future.

When I built my first jet, I asked my mentor the same exact question. His answer was: "Do you want it to stay on?"
After giving it a little thought and having come from the N-Plant Biz, I recalled that for critical stuff one never depends on a single failure mechanism. For example, that is why we have two batteries for the Rxers, etc. For a connection like a fuel line, there are the barbs and the wire ties, thus eliminating the potential single point of failure!
So I ask you: Do you want it to stay on? :-)

That's easy. Its cheap insurance on an expensive model. Spending an extra 5 mins doing some safety wire to be sure its not going to be an issue is worth it in my book.

Although I have the tools, the next question is how do I know how much to "twist" the wire with the pliers so that I don't actually cut into the tubing? Practice? HAHA

Check these out... before anyone freaks out.. they are curved to prevent a pinch point. I know safety wiring is super easy for some of you but some of us don’t do it on a regular or daily basis..

A little trick I have learned in my 20 years safety wiring stuff on real aircraft.. after twisting the wire it will have a slight gap where the twist begins. Some people try and twist it more to lessen this gap. That is the wrong way and you end up over twisting the wire even breaking it sometimes. You need to turn your entire hand with the pliers in a twisting motion and that will twist the bottom of the pigtail without adding to the twist per inch much. Hard to explain in words but with some practice you will get it.

Excellent! I did some searching and found an Automotive Paint store only 2 miles from my house, they even have a PPG color workstation so hopefully they will be able to match the colors. I don’t know yet whether or not the can make up aerosol cans yet, I’ll find out tomorrow when they open. Thanks again for all the help, much appreciated

My local paint store was able to match my colors and was also able to fill some aerosol cans for me. They also sell the 2k clear coat stuff, it's more expensive than Amazon, but I can buy it locally so that's kind of cool. I will ask him for the color codes when I pick it up later today. Thanks again for all the help! -Tom
I can’t wait to try it out on a fully prepped surface, probably another nose gear door for starters.
