Maybe you should read the link I attached. Even the manufacturers of PVC don't recommend it without a protective sheath. The guys you know have been fortunate. If copper (my choice too)or iron bursts, it merely splits, no projectiles. Makes your choices, takes your chances.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

I would not use it.
If I HAD to I would use schedule 80 and put it in a rubber hose or give it 4 half-lap wraps of duct tape including the joints.
But then I wouldn't.

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
