PBG carbon wing tube for IMPACT

[Wayne Galligan]

Mark,

Try using Teflon lube.   It the stuff we use on the Boy Scouts Pinewood
Derby cars axles.  The stuff that is like graphite only its the white
stuff(Teflon)
Has worked well on several tubes that I had sticking.

Do you know if these tubes will also work with the Rev Pro?  The tube I
have is SO tight you'd think you were going to break the wings getting
them on and off.  I've sanded the crap out of the tube and the sleeves
and it's better...but still way too tight.

The Rev Pro tube is already carbon...just wondering if these have better
tolerances.

Peter,

I just changed mine to a c.f. tube this winter and the phenolic tube in
the
fuse was a bit loose.  I used regular scotch tape (tip from Lance V.)
and it
worked perfect.  Add a layer or two to get the fit needed.  I was even
able
to shim the tube just a scootch to get the wing in perfect alignment
with
the tail feathers.  Lance claims it will not wear over time also.   A
lot
easier then gluing and sanding.
