Rich Hollyday recommends using hardware-store "linch pins" inserted into his highstart rubber for connecting pieces. Similar to the "plugs" that you mentioned. I use them on my Hollyday histart rubber and they do hold very well. On my earlier histart (a Pinnacle standard) the rubber was tied to the welded rings. This worked well, but the knot did tend to "creep" and untie itself. I think that the inserted plugs are the best way to go on this. I don't know if any are available to fit the rubber on your histart. Hobby Lobby http://www.hobby-lobby.com/ sells commercially made plugs (European) and might have something to fit. --Bill On Tue, 19 Dec 2000 23:30:28 -0500 "David A.

I'm wondering what the best way would be to connect the two segments when using the full length of the rubber. I've heard about using plugs or rings. This is a monster piece of rubber (looks like a garden hose), so I want to be sure that it wont let go under stress. Also, what is the best method to attach a welded ring to the rubber (when the tubing is as large as this is)? - David RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
