Diameter of Carbon Fiber Wing Tube
Scratch building an Edge 540 27% scale, what size wingtube should I plan on using? I have never built a plane with a plug in wing before so need a little help here. I would like to go carbon fiber to build light. I want extremely light so I was thinking large diameter and smaller thickness to keep strength up and reduce weight. The span will be 85 inches what should the length of the tube be?
