Default Velcro Wraps?

Hi all,

Does anyone know of an online store that sells those Velcro wrap ties to use in large scale planes?

Thanks, any help is appreciated.

I've seen Velcro wraps at TBM, Fromeco, AirWild and a few other places. Here's a link to the OneWrap store. Get what you need in large rolls and just cut what you need when you need it.

Here's another:

Good question, I have been trying to figure out who carries those velcro fuel tank straps that I see now and again.

http://www.fromeco.org/aaccessories.htm for a tank.

http://www.troybuiltmodels.com/MountingHardware.htm for general use.

I think he needs internet as I doubt there is a Walmart in S. Africa.

Fromeco makes great Tank straps and smaller straps for batteries and stuff. I have them in my plane and love them!

A scuba shop is a great place to look for straps. They are used for everything from watch bands to knife straps. I picked up 5 from the local shop for less than $2 each.
