OK Does anyone have a guess at the angle? I don't have one so it's kinda making it hard to get the angle, or even guess based off pics, but from what I"ve seen it appears to be around a 45* bend :confused:

Because I'm building something (way to much to go into, and you most likely wouldn't care if I did) and I think the air bridge from a C5 would work well if that angle, or degrees is enough. So, do you know what it is David?

Id say its more along the lines of 30 or 35 deg. 45 is definately too much from what I would say. Hope this helps any. But enlighten us, just give us a brief description of what you are congering up :)

I can't say much now. I'm affraid someone on here may get the idea and run with it. It's happen once already with one of my ideas a few years back.

Thank you greatly for the info though it helps out a great deal.

I'll IM the idea to you.
