FYI Regarding Nylaflow:
Many Glasair builders have had problems with Nylaflow tubing getting too
close to hot brakes and melting. Many Glasair builders are using stainless
steel braided hose in that area instead.
Then there is the argument "you are building a $100k+ airplane, do you
really want cheap looking plastic hose going down to your brakes?" ... the
stainless braded hose does look cool!
