[NSRCA-discussion] Phenolic tubing

[Ihncheol Park]

Joe,

 

Not sure if you can find one, but here are the past postings on phenolic
tube related posts.  All in Red.

You can find the tube size at the bottom also.

I have two sets of Gator adjusters hidden and have a couple sets of
WorldModels sets at the store also.

Hope this helps,

Scott,

 

Try this approcah to create a set. Apply 2 layers of wax paper to the tube
and lock ends down with masking tape. VERY lightly spray the wax paper with
3M77. Lay up some 4 ozs glass cloth of appropriate length on the tube. The
contact glue will stick the glass well enough for easy lay-up. You will need
2-3 layers. Then either use thin ca for instant gratification or finishing
epoxy if you can wait overnite.

 

After the glue has kicked, heat the glass with aheat gun lightly to melt the
wax, and pull the glass tubes off. Very snug fit

I have a pair if no one else comes up w/ some for ya, I also recall that one
of the bic pens tube size fits the gator pins.

I have found certain fiberglass arrow shafts fit.  I have even used c.fiber
tube.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Phenolic tubes for gator wing adjusters

 

I'm getting close to having four new airplanes in the bones and found that I
have enough of the gator style wing adjusters but I can't seem to find any
of the phenolic tubes that go with them.  

 

Since I can't just call gator and order them does anyone know is a good
source for phenolic tubes?  

 

Thanks for the help

Rick

I went to the hobby store and found some hollow carbon tube that was a
perfect fit, can't remember the size but it was common size in the
assortment rack



Rick,

 

Look on the internet for phenolic tubes....you will get 100K responses so
only take the first two or three. Also look in McMaster Carr's catalog
online. You will probably have to buy a 3' length. The paper type is the
least expensive and works great for this application (there are a bunch of
different types for all kinds of applications). You will likely pay more for
the stamps

Dan I opened a package and the Gator adjuster phenolic tubes are 7/32 x 9/32
x 3/4.

If anyone has puchased the phenolic tubes for the sockets for Gator wing
adjusters, could they post the size that they used.

 

Thanks

I have a half dozen old Gator Wing adjusters in the drawer, but no phenolic
tubing. Anyone have a source/part number etc for some phenolic tubing
that'll work. I have not come across anything in my search on the net.
