Subject
[NSRCA-discussion] Aluminum fuel lines






I have finally reached the point all the mods I wanted to do to last 
year's Focus are complete.
Now the reassembly.
In one of many attempts to reduce the planes weight I want to shorten my 
fuel lines by moving my fuel dots and also by substituting
aluminum tubing for fuel line where I can on the long runs.  What's the 
best way to anchor the aluminum?  Glue balsa standoff blocks to the
fuse sides and run the tubing through the blocks?  What kind of adhesive 
will hold the best since I am sure some small amount of surface
oxidation will occur causing some glues to work better than others.
Thanks!
