* If you have the setup for SDS fuel pumps, consider not running the hose from the fuel valve to the pumps in a straight line. The hose is very short and stiff and has no way to shrink / stretch if there is no bend in it. It also gives you a bit more freedom concerning how far to screw the fitting into the pump assembly.

General
- You will be getting instructions per Email for installing the fuel lines and for the wing root filter but not for the brake lines.
- Additional pdf files are available on this web page.
- Additional pictures are available on this web page.
- Each hose has a tag crimped on with VERY sharp edges where they cut the tab off. Consider using a glue gun and adding hot glue to the tabs so you don't cut yourself handling the hoses during install. Make sure the tags are not near anything they can touch later during flight and cut into.
- The tags have a hose number stamped onto it, e.g. "H9" (Hose 9). The kit contains a small paper sheet that lists the function of each hose number.
- If you have the setup for SDS fuel pumps, consider not running the hose from the fuel valve to the pumps in a straight line. The hose is very short and stiff and has no way to shrink / stretch if there is no bend in it. It also gives you a bit more freedom concerning how far to screw the fitting into the pump assembly. The milled distribution manifold may not allow you to add another full turn.

Brake Lines
- Page 38-3, Step 5: You won't be using the brass elbows, instead TS Flightline provides additional AN822-4D elbows, so all ports on the master cylinder will get them.
- Page 38-7, Step 2: You won't be using the Nylon tee, instead TS Flightline provides an T-fitting that has two hose adapters and one for the brake fluid reservoir
- The brake line with the 90 degree fitting goes to the left side of the T-fitting that is attached to the brake fluid reservoir (copilot left pedal).
