Hope youv all been keeping well. am having a problem purchasing aluminum for the weedhopper for the lengths longer than 12 feet. Aircraft & Spruce have the aluminum in 12 foot max lengths and therefore sections like:

The Root Tube 2.5" x .065" x 183.5"
L.E Wing-spar 2.5" x .065" x 158.5"
T.E Wing-spar 1.5" x .065" x 166.25"

can not be built at one go. i had been told of splicing the two tubes to form one. is this advisable? how do i join the 2 without compromising strength? is there anyone who could sell and ship me the above?

Warm Regards
