I already know there's no definitive answer, I'm just trying to get a rough idea for weight comparison.

What wall thickness tubing (and OD for that matter) is used by the various ultralight manufacturers for their fuselage assembly. 0.058" ...0.062" ???

The Kolb and the Legal Eagle would be a couple of examples of what I'm thinking of

Id like to design a fuse and make a spreadsheet program that would tell me the weight (approximately).

Anyone know?
