Im building the Stickit IV from the RCM plans. Im having a hard time finding fiberglass tubes for the boom. does anyone know of any suppliers? Also, has anyone built this plane and knows of any tips that would help?

thanks, max

Your LHS should have a supply of carbon fiber and fiberglass rods in various sizes. If that doesn't work, you can get it from numerous online suppliers. I use this one because they are close to me (in Canada):

Search on carbon fiber and you will find a pile of choices and the original manufacturer of the materials.

BTW, I saw a post by Azzar (sp?) of Air Flair where he said that most people had gone to using a single tube of around .500" or slightly smaller instead of the nested tubes shown on the plans. Search on Smith Super Special and I think it will come up.
