I have put it in the oven and shaped it. I have also over heated it and had it to collapse. When I pulled it out of the oven it was like handling spaghetti. Bob Perkinson Hendersonville, TN.

While wandering in the aircraft parts aisle at Home Depot, I came across 90 degree mandrel bends in both thin wall conduit (galvanized metal) and schedule 40 PVC (grey conduit). Why wouldn't this work for an intake? I am pretty certain that both are fire resistant and would stand up to the heat. The metal is a little heavier than aluminum (maybe the PVC as well) but cheeeep! Has anyone tried either of these materials? Bill Bradburry >> Homepage: http://www.flyrotary.com/ >> Archive: http://lancaironline.net/lists/flyrotary/List.html
