Hey All,
I am designing a flyer with 2-1/2" front spars with an .035 wall thickness. Now I'm trying to keep weight down significantly, and need to place inner sleeves at the root, splice point, and strut attach points. My problem is that I cannot source any 2-7/16" OD tubing (preferably ~.035 wall) to make my wing design practical. Where the heck can you find this or any 6061-T6 tube in 1/16 increments?
