Other than Giant Leap, Red Arrow Hobbies and PML, who else sells phenolic tubing? Secondly, whose would you use? I have used Giant Leaps tubing in the past, as well as PML (I prefer Giant Leaps over PML), but I want to know what else is out there.
Those are the only choices I know of. +1 on Giant Leap over PML. Any tube that breaks when it merely falls over is too brittle for me. But if you want to galss it, it may not matter much. I think If I was thinking phenolic, I'd try Blue Tube instead.
Is Red Arrow still around?
I was looking at Blue Tube2.0 as that is what I have for an avionics bay... but the cost was twice that of phenolic... Maybe I will go with the Blue after-all... how moisture sensitive is Blue Tube 2.0 now?
Bob, does this little shop in Indiana have 38mm Pflexable couplers?
+1 for the flexible phenolic. Main complaint is the motor tube - over time it has warped some - dunno if its the humidity, heat or the stress of the motor thrust, but it is getting dang tight to get a motor in and out. Originally a motor would slip in and fall out with ease. One of these days I'll have to cut it off the motor. I won't use blue tube for a motor mount again.
