I have noticed in several pictures I've seen that some builders have mounted
the hydraulic system accumulator horizontal rather than vertical like the
manual suggests.  Does this thing work the same, regardless of orientation?

Second question, I was on the website for a professional builders assist
shop (the one Rob Wolf used) and spotted a IV they were finishing.  They
noted they had to replace all the hydraulic plumbing and it is shown now
done in flexible hose instead of aluminum tubing.  Is there a problem with
the aluminum tubing being used as the factory suggests?  Appreciate any
suggestions on this.
