Hey all,

I happen to be following Taiser's CH750 build thread, which is brilliant, and noticed some pretty large flares on his pitot tube lines. Obviously this isn't a pressure application so it'll be sweet as, but it got me thinking.

How much is the ideal amount to flare a tube end to get the best sealing and joint durability / life? My flaring tool was very inspecific in it's instructions, and I have seen a range of different practices. Is there a best practice?

Cheers
