This is a 2.5mm PPN plastic tube which allows a slip-fit with 3/64" (0.047") or 1/32" (0.032") wire.

This size tube allows the wire to move inside so you can use it as a bearing, for installing a aileron torque rod for example. (we also sell the little torque-rod pushrod connector you see in this picture).  The plastic tubes are about 3 inches long (they can be cut into smaller pieces if needed).

You'll find other uses as well....   for example,

Rabid tubing can also be used to firmly anchor a removeable antenna or other accessories on your model. Glue the tubing in your model and then "plug" the wire into it.  This way you can install easily removable details on your model to prevent them from being damaged in transport.  The next several pictures illustrate - first two show a removable "loop antenna" in a foam fuselage.  

The next picture shows how the tubing can be used to mount a removable "machine gun" installation in the side of a foam fuselage.  (Did you know that we sell 3D-printed machine guns?) 

Since the tubing is such a small item we recommend adding it to other items in your cart. Its probably not worth the postage to order this all by itself!
