Six picture down the road.
These, to the best of my knowledge, are Chinese brass tubes, they are thinner than K&S. I ordered two of them and because in my opinion with regard to the difference, I never used them. I wish I could find them and send them to you, but you will have to come and help me to turn my garage up side down.:olleyes:

rescue boat : won' t use surface drive + flex

build /buy something slow like a scale boat or....

why using flex when you have to reverse ?
