New Idea ... maybe

[Eodman]

For those of us that have trouble bend tubing into tighter angles ... like me!

I was in my local R&S Straus auto store & stumbled onto a rack with vaccuum line supplies and they had a variety of right angled fittings ... push on type .. both hard plastic as well as softer rubber ones!!!!

I spent a few hours on trying to bend tubing for the inside of the EP1's that I'm working on --- them rubber hoses keeps kinking when I put the covers on! This may just solve the problem!

I let you know ... with pictures & stuff too!!!!

I am just getting back into the rc boat thing after a 20 absence. So back in the "Old Days" we would fill the tube with solder make the bend then melt the solder out. Some times the tube would still kink if you where not careful.
The other method was to buy a long spring the same size of the tube O.D. then slip the tubing into the spring to make the bend.
Just my 2 cents worth
