Carbon or glass wingtube

I'm building a 81" Ultra Hots and want to build the wings in 2 halves for transportation ease. For this I need a wing joiner tube. Does anyone know wherw to buy these? The plane should end up under 15 lbs.

Thanks
Doug

Hello.
PBG make good carbon fibre wing tubes.
These are manufactured in New Zealand, and sold in the USA by Budd Engineering. (and possibly others, but I have bought from Budd.)
