Carbon fiber tube, how strong is this tube for my CAP232?
I wonder if anybody has information about this tubes.
I bought a carbon fiber wind tube, the tube is very light and seems to me !QUOT!fragile!QUOT! for the job that is going to do.
Le t me know your experience.
The Airplane is a CAP232 Lanier 80 inches.
This data might no be relevant; however adds other factor to the equation: I ma going to install a gas engine ZDZ 50. The vibration factor is going to be other aspect.
The tube diameter is 1 inch. I don't recall the thickness of the wall., however I will investigate.
The weight of the tube is only 3 ounces while the aluminum counterpart that comes with the kit is 8 ounces. (see attached images)
What is your experience?
It is safe the substitution that I am making?
Thanks.
