Hello Guys,
I know there is a recommendation for changing out the flop tube every five years. I finished building my wings more than five years ago and my airplane will be done soon. The flop tube has never seen an ounce of AVGAS. Do I still need to change it out? I thought about swapping it out for one made of Teflon hose but the only draw back I could see is that the Teflon hose would be quite a bit sttifer. Any ideas?
