Default TT Fuel Line

Hey all,

Wondering if anyone knows how/where to buy the fuel line, in bulk weather in feet or the whole spool, that comes inside TT's fuel tanks on helis? It's real thin and very flexible..... clear tint.

The best place for the stock clunk line that comes in the TT tanks is in the trash can.

LynxHeli makes a clunk line that holds up much better, as does Hayes.

I found the Lynx Heli site.... is this stuff as flexible? Reason is, I'm putting togethere a Hobbico Twin Star (I fly heli's too so settle down) and it has really really really small 4 oz tanks. The distance from the brass pick up tube in the stopper to the back of the tank is so short, the standard dubro and even better pinkish prather line is so stiff the clunk will not fall to the bottom of the tank..... My thought was the TT line, while it might soften quickly and suck shut, it's very thin and flexible. I wouldn't mind replacing it often if it means I get longer than a 3-4 minute flight on the TwinStar!

Yep. It swells a little so you need to cut it a few mm shorter than you need.

It is the unanimously recommended CLUNK line at the other foRRum I visit. I have it in all my helicopters and a few airplanes.
