CARF-Models P-47
Pneumatic Completion
At this point in the project, we have installed retracts, wing air lines, TW air lines, air valves, and
radio. It is time to complete the pneumatics installation such that correct and reliable gear and
door operation can be achieved and repeated MANY times on the bench. NOTE: IF anything
fails on the bench – even once – it is SURE to fail in the air. Leave NOTHING to chance! The
following pictures illustrate an installation lay-out. Ultimately, cable lengths, locations and other
details are up to the individual builder.
