It's metric, and in the USA it's hard to find.

Mike... I've been flying mine for 3 years with a short tube. I just center it, and then put the wings on. BUT... I have thought about epoxy'ing in wood plugs on either end just to help support, and keep it centered.

With that said... I don't have retracts in my Falcon. Since it was my "Trainer" jet... I figure I needed to be able to have some hard landings, so I installed fixed gear on the fuse.
