Anybody know where you can get 1/8 pipe to 1/8 OD nylon tube, Nylon
Fittings?  Why not use 1/8 tube for pitot static?  I have the brass
compression type, but would prefer the Nylon, if I could find them.

I was looking for an elbow for 1/4" OD nylon tubing for the pitot/static
system in my Air Camper.  I had it in my mind to get the standard brass

Mark; good point about posting building tips.  It happens that I just got back 
from the hardware store, where I was looking for an elbow for 1/4" OD nylon 
tubing for the pitot/static system in my Air Camper.  I had it in my mind to 
get the standard brass compression type of fitting, but I noticed some plastic 
push-on fittings with a quick-release feature for a couple of bucks less.  For 
very low pressure applications like this (NOT for fuel or brake lines), these 
fittings are far easier to work with than the brass ones.  The package says the 
fittings can also be used on soft copper or aluminum OD tubing.

I'm not sure that I would use the push-on fittings for softer flexible plastic 
tubing, but for the stiff nylaflow tubing, they work great.  The part I got is 
like this one:
