The following letter came from Scott Krueger about 3 years ago. I
checked the part number and it is still valid but the price has jumped
up to $0.19/ft. The web sight is:

The following is the text copied from a
forwarded e-mail circulated in the
COZY group:
<<<McMaster Carr has teflon
spaghetti tubing 0.090 O.D. X 0.066 I.D for
approximately $0.18/ foot minimum 5'
lengths. Part number 5335K17 Page
45 Catalog 103. Run a piece of 1/16
stainless steel TIG wire through it
(I used 420 but 300 series should be okay
also) and volia - teflon
covered hinge pins. McMaster Carr accepts
MC, VISA, AE, and they have a
web site also. TIG wire? Try the
local welding shops & supply houses -
get a pound and share the extra (and
there will be a bunch) with your
flying buddies.
Just trying to reduce the cost of
building & flying.
