However, advancements in pilot training brought a need for a new aircraft with improved performance and a tricycle landing gear, as compared to the tail dragger version. Only about 3000 of these were built for training.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0On an interesting note, the Nanchang CJ-6 makes extensive use of pneumatics to control the gear and flap extension\/retraction, operate the brakes and start the engine. An engine-driven air pump recharges the system; however if air pressure is too low to start the engine then the onboard air tank can be recharged by an external source. If an external source is not available then the engine can be started by hand swinging the propeller.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>For the Modeler:<\/strong> This review covers the Trumpeter Chinese Nanchang CJ-6 1:48 Scale aircraft Kit #02887.
