I Made mine out of springs and heat shrink you can but lengths of spring from model eng suppliers such as polly eng, they came out ok I think you can use drinking straws from some of the fast food places joined together and painted,

More boating nuts on Model Boat Mayhem!
HS93's are by far the best I have seen!
mine are long straws from kids drink containers, painted matt black, with wire inside to keep the shape, and some car number plate scre caps to go on the end!

I have noticed nice ribbed hoses on several boats on this site. Before I try to make some with cable & heat shrink tubing does anyone know of a source for the hose?
My 34" boat Is coming on well, I hope to have It finished for a show In 3 weeks time!
