Gary Murphy 1 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I am new to building and will soon have this issue.the closed loop wires for ele and rud 6 in all will need to exit the fuse.the plan shows them exiting holes in scrap balsa between stringers.In my build the angle at this point changes so there will be rubbing/ friction.do i need to line in holes at all and what is the best material for the lines.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I use short pieces of small bore aluminium tubing and glue them in place to the fuslage. They can be shaped so that each end points in the direction of the wire. I have also used small bore plastic PTF tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Cotsford Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I use whatever I find lying around, snake outer, straws, carbon tube cutoffs, even on rare occasions purpose made exit covers from SLEC, GS, Radio Active and the like. Airline issue coffee stirrers are currently favourite and they come in nice discreet pastel colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
