Air Pressure
HI Guys I Have a Question? after a days flying and I have packed up I still have about 50 -80 P-S I left in my tanks I have no leaks and I can hold it for week's . Dose it hurt the system or is it best to cycle brakes and retracts till they are empty .

RE: Air Pressure
There will be two thories on this:
You are putting pressure on the O rings and may be streaching them so eventually when you cycle the gear they will not seat propely, by leaving the O rings under pressure they are seated permenatly and will stay sealed for longer, but may dry out.
Having the air depleated from the system allows the O rings to relax and re seat into their natural state.
Take you pick. LOL

RE: Air Pressure
HI Bald Eagel there was a thing going around a couple of year's ago to put a couple of drops of oil in the fill valvue once a year ( the oil that they use in pneumatic air tools)
it's probably the same stuff BVM sells to keep the seals soft I think Todd sells it to. But just to be safe I think I will drop it down to about 25 PSI it's a bit like sitting on the fence
