Brake lines from gear leg and fuselage

TLDR

  • Installed brake lines from gear legs to fuselage

Detail

Outside fuselage

After pushing the PTFE brake hoses from the gear leg to fuselage, I installed the AN3 fittings on the hose end.

Then I drilled holes on each side of the fuselage to install the AN3 bulkhead fittings.

Since I don’t have any reference, I still don’t know if I installed them correctly. I will find out during the final stage. If it leaks I will cut the hose and get regular AN3 fittings.

Then I installed the bulkhead fittings and connected the hoses to the fuselage.

Inside fuselage

On the inside, I connected the bulkhead to 2 straight hoses meeting at the center, then connected them to a tee going to the throttle quadrant.
