Is anyone using this in their 50-90 nitro and all is ok?? I ask as got some of this stuff in recently and couldn't believe how "SMALL" the line was, supple yes but abit concerned on its size. .....

YES using it only as a clunk line btw..

I have been using it on 2 helis for about 12 months or so. I havent needed to change it out and found it working with very good results. I also use the lynx MOAS clunks with it.

Ok great thank you very much what size motor etc you running them on? Your 700N 90 and your 50 sized synergy I presume?

The clunks they make you speak of I had hard time with, they seemed to lean out on my 55HZ and my OS 91 as well...

I am running a YS 91SR and an OS 55HZ and have not had them lean out but I don't fly the tank to the last 10sec or anything I always have some fuel spare. probably 1/2 inch of fuel spare.

I have had it go lean but only when the last drop of fuel was gone.

Some people have had varying results though. So probably best to test for yourself.

Maybe the lynx fuel tube with the clunk stops that leaning possibly.

I have had about 50 flights on each since changing over from Hayes.

Ok thanks for good info beans, appreciate your time!

With a bit of luck i will get some flights on them both tomorrow if the weather holds up ok. I will take extra care to see if they lean out during the flight.

Only had good things to report using the Lynx fuel clunk line. A couple of people use these and can pretty much COMPLETELY drain their tank with it... what I've noticed they have done is, have excess length in there (more than the diameter of the fuel tank itself) because its so flexy its able to flop about in every corner of the fuel tank and get every drop.

Personally I've got enough length so it just falls short of touching the opposite end of the fuel tank, will try a longer piece next time I'm doing some engine maintenance.
