The soft tubing (maybe latex??) on my chicken stick is wore out. Where do you guys buy it?

I get blue silicone "water hose" from All Hose Inc or House of Hose here in Las Vegas. Its the high temp stuff for coolant lines. Its soft and flexible. I've been using mine for a few years now.

I used air brake line from busses. Plastic, medium hard, red, soft enough to not break props, hard enough to not need a handle. 3/4" diameter. Available from truck repair shops.

McMaster-Carr has all sorts and sizes of tubing. I'm sure you can find what you want there. They give very good service and are easy to deal with.

I see flexible vinyl tubing in the big box plumbing department. Usually by the foot. Should be OK.
