Fuel/Brake/Pitot lines tubing Q

[flydjd]

Hi all,

Another Q from a relative newbie (and will be until finished )

All the tubing comes as rolls for shipping....is there an easy way to get it STRAIGHT
I have Averys hand tubing benders but it comes out looking like a snake having convulsions
Any tips please as I would like the straight bits to look that way !!!!!!

Cut the length you need. Straighten it by hand as well has you can. Lay it on your work bench. Put a wide board on top, push against the tubing with the board and then move the board back and forth to force the tubing to roll between the board and the work bench. This should put it quite straight.

Take the roll to a table, hold the end down on the table with the coil straight up. Unroll the coil across the table, it will be pretty straight at this point. Then use Kevin's method if required.

By the time you get it in the plane, it ainta gona be a straighta no more.
