    Anyways back to the SODAK build. The pump was wired to it's switch and now all the electrical has been completed. The next item will be to install the discharge outlet. Pneumatics have been started with old hosing being removed and replaced by new stuff. The quick disconnects have been installed onto the hosing. I just need to build a support for the bottle. Once that is constructed I will connect the guns to the system and test for leaks with what gas I have. I will also start labelling of all systems.

    The pneumatics are completed. I am checking for leaks. I will need to get more co2. I will probably get a fill at banshee paintball. I know there are some leaks to be corrected.

    make sure it's the non-permanant threadlock.
    Insert the barb first and give it a turn or so. Then a dab of thread lock -- that way the threadlock can't flow over the edge and obstruct the hole.

    The pneumatics have been tested and no leaks. I only had one hose poip and that was at the quick disconnect. That issue was resolved. Bottle has been placed. Batteries will placed using velcro. Pump has been placed but needs an outlet hole drilled. The electrical has been completed. all it needs now is some tidying up so it does not look like a rats nest. Poppits have been placed. I just need to tool dip some servos and install. I have to complete installation of pneumatics as I need to place the tanks for the triples. Once taht is done it will be prep the balsa and start sheeting.
