To be as safe as you could possibly be I'd use components from the same stable. I use the Nash tungsten heli beads on there tubing and it seems to work fine. The beads hold enough in place but give a bit under tension.

i use the nash heli/bead kits (think you get 5 per pack) and they're fine. i tend to cut the very tip of the heli sleeve off to accept the tube i use.

the beads are fine if they are a touch loose i just put a small sausage of tungsten putty inside the bead. the beat still comes loose but gives a touch more resistance if needed.

Hi all

For various reasons think I’m going to need to use helicopters on tubing.

I generally use Korda tungsten tubing, so would prefer to use it. Are the Nash beads OK on this, or any alternative suggestions for beads and or tubing.

Thanks
