Yeah, I noticed I had to cut the line off the tubing with no barb. I couldn't pull it off, it would just stretch with a healthy he-man effort. So that stock line is pretty good, huh? Five years? Wow! Do you think these new ones have just as good of line as your five year old one?

If it is the same stuff. I found sources where to get that tubing (lightly colored yellow)....HK.....SDS......Taildragger.

Tank, where the stopper goes into

I have had Du-Bros do the same thing because I used "Sullivan" all aluminum bung caps and over tightened the assembly with a SS 4-40 hex cap.

I probably have an advantage in this regard being old and weak.

I had an ARF tank split in flight that caused me to make a trip out into a VERY muddy field loaded with corn stubble. And cost me some repair time on a cowl and wheel pants. Never again.

My flying partner is such a pal when we got to the edge of the field he said "sorry bud, your on your own". It was only a 30 center, but carrying it across that muddy field trying not to slip, or trip on a corn stalk just plain sucked.

18 purrrrfect flights on the ZDZ-180... I was hovering yesterday just above idle, stopped my thumbs from moving, told McBride who was standing next to me, to watch my thumbs... no movement for several tork rolls. Now this is on stock mufflers, and everyone knows tune pipes are pipey... but Joe @ www.zdzusa.com tells me these ZDZ-180s are not the least bit pipey on MTW RE3 pipes. :O I think this motor sounds kinda nice with the JMB mufflers I have on it, but if I can put RE3s on here with the same hovering transition as my stock mufflers?... well... I'm definitely going for that awesome tune pipe sound.

Thought I'd try some of this protective wrap... it's spring loaded to go on after the fact.
