Hi Ron.

I have wings that will only fit on one motor stick. Due to different size tissue tubes. Polyimide tubing can be used to standardize the sizes. I'm big into standardization now. I like replacement parts that fit.

Besides the stuff is worlds better than tissue tubes, stronger, weighs less, glues well, acetone doesn't dissolve it into mush.

Tissue's only plus is the cost of the material. When you figure in your time, polyimide comes out on top.

My opinion.

Regards.
