For example, the plans call for the landing gear legs to be made of 1"x.058 aluminum tubing, with a 7/8" x.058 tube of equal length inside.
Why not simply use just one single tube with equal wall thickness ? Maybe a 1" x .125.
Without guessing, does anyone know the reason for two tubes instead of one?
