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”
