    Specific to the Skymaster F-18 but lots of info that can be used for any air system! Thanks for watching!

    The air system is money!!! That takes the sweat off for landing.. brakes are a good thing on these big birds 🦅
    Great install Jonathan!

    Thank you Jonathan for another great video as always. The shock oil you use does the 40 denote the weight of the oil (40 weight)? I should do my air systems 😬

      Thanks Craig. the 40 is the weight of the oil. It's available in all sorts of weights. I generally keep 30-40 on hand so that's what i end up using. Not overly specific on what you need to use. Just helps condition the seals and orings.

    Can you do a detailed video on how to use the Xicoy CG machine?

    Jonathan are you sure you are Not a Doctor? lol Think I stay with Sailplanes flying. Yes I will stay on the Porch As the Big Dogs Play. If that lady voice on the Jeti Transmitter drives you Crazy you can Change her. Jonathan you are the Man for Jet Building. May I ask a Question? Take Care and hope the Weather getting better for you Soon

      @@thelightersideofrc Jonathan is it a good thing to shut down Jet Engine to land? Or do you use Crow or Flap/elevator to Slow Down? Do they make air brakes for tail Wheel Jet/turbine plane? A guy at the Fly Club has this problem. I know that Crow helps a lot on Sailplane s. GN Doc.Jonathan Jet .lol

    Where did the air/water separator come from?

    Noob question: what's the benefit of the air system vs electric?

    • @thelightersideofrc
      @thelightersideofrc  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Generally electric is preferred now by many. Air systems work well if setup properly. There are many aircraft (like these scale aircraft) that Air is your only option.

      @@thelightersideofrcAppreciate the response. Do you mean beyond a certain scale (size), electric is not feasible due to size/torque required?

    • @thelightersideofrc
      @thelightersideofrc  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sort of but it’s more about complexity. For example the f18 mains don’t just have an up and down cylinder, they also have a locking cylinder. So yes, possible with electric but much simpler with air.

    Im so OCD. I P-touched each for red/green as well as which they are controlling on the board itself. lol
