Default 1:5/5 A6 Intruder Flying Stab


Looking for some recommendations (assistance) in sourcing flying stab bearing and tube (aluminum) for support of my A6's flying stab
cradle. Most turbine and EDF jets are bought with the flying stab mechanism pre-installed...as we are doing.
.................................................. .......................................
By virtue of the design of the stab drives I must use high tensil aluminum alloy tube (schedule 7000) with /FG/or phenolic sleeve. Note image
of cradle and drive mechanism below. All I have found so far are C/F tube and sleeve. I must use aluminum tube. Using a cradle within fuse
where each stab is driven by an individual servo. Gator sells fiberglass only...no aluminum.

Tapered L.E. Stab Spec:
Root: 16” x 1.75” thickest.
Ttip: 8.25” x .75” thickest.
Ea. leading edge span: 18.75”
Ea. trailing edge span: 18.75”
