I just heard from Tony at Radio South RC. He can supply a set of CF tube and CF sleeve for $75.84 per set, plus shipping. It does take about two weeks for him to get the set since it's a special order item. Now that sounds like a winner and a weight saver, and not that much more than the CF tube and phenolic sleeve set from TnT.

And I think I've beaten this poor topic to death.

Cheers,
Richard
