Douwe,You don't say what diameter helix you're talking about, but if you can find a localshop that has a tube roller, they should be able to roll it into the spiralyou want. Stretching a coil of rolled aircraft tubing is likely a lot moredifficult than you might expect - you'd be better off getting the tube rolledthe way you want it to be. You could also be limited by the length that you canbuy the tubing in (likely 20 ft max).Professional tube rolling shops use a machine similar (in concept) to that HarborFreight machine shown in the Youtube video, except that they are driven bymotors and hydraulic rams to adjust the radius. The more sophisticated machinesare programmable, and can change the diameter as the piece is rolled. The shopthat rolls the tube would need to have dies to match the diameter of tubingthat you are using.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2010 18:48:49 -0500

I don't have links on my control horns. I have turnbuckles with a fork endpinned directly to the horn. I do, however, have links joining the tail cablebrace wires. I used clevis pins instead of bolts. Since you're not pullingthe assembly up tight, as in bolting a prop to a hub, there's no need for anut. This makes the tail a teeny bit lighter as well.I threw in a couple of my just completed fuel system pics just for the heckof it.Clif> Guys, I know this should be simple, but...> Here are the questions:>> a) if you are using 3/16" pins across the through holes, are you using a > sleeve over the pin, to keep the two chain link sides from flopping about? > And if so, what is it, fuel line tubing or some such?>>> Tim in central TX________________________________________________________________________________
