Nylo Flow Tubeing

["Ron Needham" <roncathy@ameritech.net>]

I Am Currently building my XL 173 wings with the internal rudder horn

and was wondering if it seam like a bad idea to any on els  that they use 3/16

nylo flow tubing in the wing.

 

It Could not be replaced if needed with out major work to the wing.

 I know that the rudder is not used as much as a standard configured plane,

there by less wear . But even if with that in mind I think I  would still like to be able

to replace it if need be.

 

I was thinking of putting the nylo flow tubing in side a lager Dai Plastic  tubing 3/8  maybe even 5/16  that way I could replace the 3/16 tubing rather easily ,With out distruction to the wing.

 

The only down side I can think of is maybe 1/4 lb in weight and couple of dollars .

 

Any thought on this

Thanks Ron Needham

See you all at the dinner.
