Exhaust system

Today I started on the exhaust system by cutting the scat tubing to length, and making up the flared-tube exhaust support fittings. No issues or challenges with this step, although I wonder how well these fittings will work. Hopefully they will grip the inside of the hose enough to hold on, I have read a few stories on vansairforce.net where these have let go. We’ll find out I guess.
