I looked around my workshop and noticed that I had a couple feet of titanium tubing left over from an aquarium chiller project.
a couple feet of Ti tubing? right in my back pocket.
seriously karl, that's a neat idea for ppl using plastic blades. if i was you i'd find a few more sources for the tubing and give jcs hobbies a call. if anything can hurt jcs, it's a broken tail boom. they might appreciate your help ($$$).
