1 hr (maybe more later) today figuring out how the Nylo-Seal fittings work.  And thanks to BobZ down in FL, I figured it out!  ;-)

Bob and Joan recently finished their Sling 2 and here it is next to a friend's RV-7A.  They were faster, but the Sling 2 uses half the fuel.  The Sling looks gorgeous and fast just sitting there!

Since Bob finished the required 40 hours of testing he was able to take up his wife Joan.  Here they are sporting their Sling Smiles!! :-D

With Bob's help, here is how you connect the Nylo-Seal fittings.  First push in the insert (259-N04 NYLO-SEAL FITTINGS).

Then put the fitting (265-N04 NYLO-SEAL FITTINGSon and tighten down the nut until, as Bob says, it's reached German Torque: Gutten Tight. ;-)  You'll find you can't pull it off.

Then I tried to put the tube in and.... this is not how you do it...

This is how you do it.  Insert in the tube with the nut part already on the tube.  Then just apply German Torque.

Nice!  Now to replace the other fittings and I can move on...
