Default Anyone know where to get streamline tubing

Looking for Streamlined tubing for float mountings on KMP Beaver. Need 1" or larger.

Thanks

1" or bigger? How about a local hangglider dealer. They sell airfoiled aluminum downtubes.

Failing that, a regular aluminum landing gear blank with foam airfoiled, glassed over, is another option.

Or maybe parts from these guys: http://www.seacommander.com/seacommander.asp

Ryan at sea commander has what you need....most hobby shops have them but they don't have the needed strength for seaplanes, sea commanders are made from 6061-T6

Thanks,

I found the Sea commander site after I posted here. I emailed them and Ryan fixed me right up with a package price for the mounts and tubing.
