Fred, Nylaflow has worked perfectly for me x 6yrs. It's standard practice in
glider dating back to the invention of Nylaflow. Although there is an
inspection issue, my inspector (who is a professional glider repair
engineer), tells me that cable wear in the protected bits is significantly
less than in the exposed bits running over wheels or other bearing points.
