I can't get the pipe in
Hi,
To start with I am dealing with a 1/9 AD Rafael. This has been a really long term project I have worked on between builds for years. I recently got to the install of a pipe and found I can't get one through the hatch. It needs a bifurcated, but I tried a single to set up measurement and it wouldn't go, so a bifurcated would have the same problem,
I was searching pipes and noticed a listing for an offset pipe but did not take down its source as I was looking for the bi pipe. I now can't find the vendor, so if anyone knows, please help.
It would seem I will have to feed the pipe in from the rear as it will not fit through the hatch, so I will have a single pipe. I noticed the ad for the offset pipe mentioned revectoring the efflux to help with the offset thrust line.
I do not wish to cut a new exit between the two nozzles for a linear thrust line as I have seen done if I can help it.

Thank you.
I had already considered that approach, but there is a former the nozzles are attached to further in the fuse which also acts as a rigidity support for the fin. I don't want to compromise that former. The holes through the former are large enough to take a single from either side but still carry all the loads on the fin all the way to the bottom of the fuse.
I can't get one by feeding it to the forward portion of the fuse first either.
A collapsible pipe could be put in, but I've not heard of double wall pipes designed that way.

I have the same jet before and this is the only way to install the pipe , my was the df version or electric but after some flying with the Y pipe I installed the single straight pipe and this was the best way for the jj 1400 turbine,do you have servo installed for your rudder?

Yes, I have a rudder servo. It is mounted at the base of the fin so that is flush with the main portion of the surrounding fuse. It will have good clearance from the pipe.
Did you run your single pipe between the two nozzles in a new hole, or put the exhaust through one of the nozzles?
