    Got some 'ere that seem about right - through your door on the way home (tonight if I remember).
    Keep a trex 250 lipo warm for me when you find a suitable venue .

    Alternatively it is possible to cut a short section of fuel tube, stretch it and thread the same fuel tube through the middle. Thus protecting the tube inside.
    This technique can be used for extra security where you fit the fuel tube onto the tank bung if you think its going to fall off, and where the tube goes on the exhaust nipple where the heat tends to siften it and it can blow off sometimes and lead to a lean run.

      Thanks Gordon.. Hopefully they'll fit if not i'll be taking a trip to FastLad.. (Not that i'm complaining though ).. And i'm still trying to sort out a venue for the indoor flying.. Hopefully by next week when i have more time..

      Cheers,

        It can also reduce the I.D. of the tube which you may not want to do.
