I used 3/16 nylaflow on the three planes I've built. I found that 1/4" had too much stretch in the wall of the tubing, so robbed a lot of the brake pedal stroke to stretching the nylaflow tubing. I've seen other kits are now using 1/8" nylaflow. I always use Aluminum tube or rated hydraulic line for the segment from the gear leg to the wheel. Especially if you plan to use wheel fairings. I've seen the plastic lines overheat and fail on two occasions, one of which ended up causing the loss of the aircraft. -Jeff Scot Los Alamos, NM _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
