See also x342 & x343.
I'm not sure about the naming & numbering on this one - its set up the same
as 75, 76 & 77 flex elements. I was considering not making x343 a part, asit
only contains 1 line, but it gives the part the correct scale, and makes it
easier to use emacs ldraw-mode to create curved flex parts.
I'd appreciate any comments on these things, or anything else b4 i submit to PT.
Thanks

0 A Technic Flex-System is often seen curved in a model. In
0 those cases, some part of the ends are normally fixed inside another
0 element, while the rest is bent. The part "x342.DAT" is
0 meant to model the straight parts of the ends. To achieve this,
0 place one at each end point. They should not be scaled. The
0 part "x343.DAT" is meant to model the rest. If it
0 is curved, you would typically scale the "x343.DAT" to a
0 have a short length, eg. 4LDU, and use many of them along the path of
0 the curve.
0 In the example below, the end points are 20LDU length, while
0 the centre part of the hose is scaled to have 56LDU length, thus
0 filling out the rest of the segment.
