Thanks, Rodney!

Had a fun conversation with Mike Dipalo the other night on fuel tubing and he purchased this:

Just followed the link and it's not available in 3/32", which, to my understanding, seems to be the ID I need....am I incorrect on the size here?

[Mike Dipalo]

3/32nd is the closest you find in most commercially available IDs that matches around 2~2.5mm

7/32nd OD should bring up the line you're looking for. That and 3/32nd ID gives you a reasonable wall thickness.

7/32nd OD showed in stock as of 22:07.

3/32nd and an OD of 5/32nd would be fun for clunk line I think. Going to order some and try it. 1/32nd wall thickness.

Thanks, Mike!

mike, is this stuff clear, or solid white? its hard to tell from the pics.

[Mike Dipalo]

The picture sucks. There are some reviewer's photos that show what it looks like much more clearly.

The tube is mostly clear, with white fog to it. You can easily see fuel inside it. If you've ever used the fuel line that comes from Thunder Tiger, it's basically that (and probably comes from the same place.)

got ya. thanks!

Chris, is this the Xpert servo you are using for your throttle? Is it a direct fit like the Futaba 9650? Thanks!

Yep!  There are cheaper options but a quality, fast throttle servo will help the gov perform.

Great! I want quality not cheap/inexpensive. It's just not worth it. Thanks!

My first deal fell through and I need to reorder a pipe. What pipe are you guys using on the OS55 HZ-R. As mentioned, I'm a new nitro pilot and my flying style is sport with improving collective management. I do loops, rolls, etc. but no 3D....yet. I'de like to get something that is easy to tune but provides enough power to grow. Suggestions??? Advice??? 

[Richard Rollins]

I have a Funtech on mine. Hatori on my n7. Both are great.

[Mike Spano]

Hatori SAB-1
60NS-3D
 Helicopter Tuned muffler for 3D YS56SR-YS60SR
 OS55HZ.HZ-

best all around pipe for the .55-60, period.

[Rodney Kirstine]

I started with a Hatori SAB-1 and after a crash that destroyed it, I bought a Funtech B320 and really like it. It's been replaced by a newer version:

That's $73 US dollars + shipping, which has always been really reasonable every time I've ordered from them.
