      Does any one make an oxygen mask hose that's flexible?

        You will probably have to make your own. I would look at 12 ga. strand wire. Pull the wire out of the rubber sheath and paint the sheath to the proper color. Just a thought.

          Thats a great idea!! I thought of using wire, didn't think of pulling the strands out. Thanks!

            WH, Don't know which pilot figure you are using, but for example, the O2 hose with the Jet Hangers Hobby pilot is flexible after soaking it in 'HOT" water. Best, LB

              I need it flexible all of the time, for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCSeEMEVvKE The wire insulation idea worked FANTASTIC!

                When I made the O2 hose for the pilot in my 64mm A-10, I used heat-shrink tubing. It comes in many sizes, and you shrink it around a piece of soft wire or something similar, if you want to shape it. It also is easy to form while it's still warm.

                  WH needed it to stay flexible, his pilots head moves left and right. He has a video link in his post.

                            Thank you Elbee. Your right, if it isn't worn and dirty looking, it's not a HOG!! LOL Kind of like in the Harley world, if it's worn and dirty, it's called a RAT BIKE!!

                              Bored with quarantine so I took the first photos of my two current Arctic Camos (FW 90mm F-16, FW 80mm A-10) in my hangar. I wonder what they talk about at night?

                                    So an F-16 and an A-10 roll into a bar and the A-10 says, "Hey, nice suit." and the F-16 says, "Yeah well, it's comes with the territory." Bah-dum-tss, LB

                                          Question!! Has any one changed out the stock tires for a set of "Low Bounce" tires? These stock tires develop BIG flat spots after sitting awhile.
