Aluminum Tube Sizing?

[kraythe]

Greetings and thanks for let me barge in here.

I was curious how people select the proper size tubing for constructing an aluminum based frame for a fuselage. Although I am not building a plane, I am interested in applying the aircraft building techniques to other construction projects. If you simply get the information from the kit manufacturer, then I am curious what the size and wall thickness of the tube that is the most common in load bearing structures in the fuselage.

Thanks in advance.

Oops, I think I accidentally posted this in the wrong spot. Was going for the general tech section. My appologies.
