it was just a piece of tubing, no static line.

However, I would STRONGLY recommend against using this in a turbine powered model. JPO tested a number of these a while back and what was discovered was that when the unit starts to reduce the throttle it takes 100% of your throttle control away. If you need or want to reduce throttle more you cannot. If you have an emergency and need to shut the engine down you cannot (if you are using a single channel control). This was reported to the AMA and they removed the unit from the list of approved means to keep under 200 mph. This all went away with the rules changes that took place over 10 years ago.
