Steve and I are doing some thinking on new product releases for 2017, and rigid tubes came up---again. With the success of our RV14 fuel system rigid tubes, we decided that offering a rigid tube option for some of our hose packages might be appealing to some builders.
A couple of thoughts were the 7A/9A cabin brake extension lines to the main gear bulkhead fittings, RV8 extension to the gear bulkheads, RV8 Andair valve wing lines, as well as our introduction of install packages for AFP pumps in RV7/9 aircraft.
So---I'll ask you, the builders, what would like to see? Our rigid tubes are generally 5052O, or 6061T6, and production items (like the RV14 tubes) are bent on a CNC bender. Prototypes are checked and tested, and then sent to beta testers for fit. (even then we still sometimes make changes). We realize that not all RV's are the same, but we think that for the most common items, we may be able to help you save time and aggravation.
Lets see how this works out--
