That 3/16" nylaflow tubing I got with my kit is really weak looking stuff. The design probably works. Lancair probably figures about 100psi max with that Matco plunger which looks like about 1/2 square inch (assuming a pilot can not put more than 200lbs pressure on each toe brake) However, I think that stuff gets brittle with age, and does not withstand much bending. Also, I think it gets really brittle in the cold, and soft with heat. Does anyone know about that? Is there any advantage to the Nylaflow other than low cost? Regards, Ed Armstrong Watsonville CA
