Default Freelin-Wade Airline

I jus run out of airlines and I need to buy a good amount of them. I was looking at the prices of Dreamworks and there's no way I'm payin that kind of money.

I understand that a lotof you guys buy your airlines from Freelin-Wade. Do yo have a link to the specific model you buy ? Or a part number ? Just don't want to make a mistake and buy something that doesn't work at the end of the day.

By the way.... you buy directly from them or through dealers ?

They are Freelin-Wade PU air lines. Simply the best available on the market. Take the 1/8" OD.
Max 255 PSI @ 75°F. Turn radius 3/4". Does not pinch. Lots of colours...

When I enquired at Freelin-Wade to have a delivery to the UK < Outside the US > they wanted to charge a fortune for shipping! Sorry i cannot remember the exact figure but it was over 100 dollars. It made this method of purchasing tube a no-brainer! (It was not a small quantity about 500ft in total, but it would easily fit in a medium size box) I questioned this level of charge, got a polite reply, but did not get the answer I wanted and got nowhere. I got the impression that they prefer small orders to be US only.

I use the polyurethane 95A. Looks like they list it for .28 a foot. They come in 50 foot bags.

I had the same experience as Doctor Jet. Was trying to buy like US$ 70 in airline, but they were charging me US$ 130 in freight. I will try a different supplier.

If you guys cant find an international supplier then I would suggest going through a friend. Have them purchase then ship to you. Also remember that these sizes are not metric, I have never checked but I don't think they make the Fre-thane in 3mm, just 1/8th.

Correction, the catalog states metric sizes available so I think you need to ask for them though.
