Default RE: SIMLA BUILD THREAD

Last check on source for 1-inch O.D. carbon composite wing tube and a carbon composite sleeve.

I've checked all the sources that have been mentioned in this thread and in the original Taurus thread, and sources resulting from a search of the 'net. Although a couple places have the 1-inch diameter wing tube, none have a suitable carbon composite sleeve. And only TnT Landing gear even has a correct sleeve and it's a phenolic one that is, I assume, similar to the sleeve that comes in the kit.

If anyone knows of a source for both CF components, please post the information. Otherwise it looks like the TnT solution is the only one available for those of us who want to replace the kit's aluminum tube and who do not want to try to fabricate a sleeve from CF.

Thank you,
Richard
