That was my thoughts exactly - my intent was increasing the strength of the tube and decreasing overall weight. I'm generally pretty conscious of a little weight savings here and there anyways.

My build is nearing completion - hopefully the maiden will be in a week or so. Did run into a problem with one of the new Fromeco regs I picked up - but they (Fromeco) straightened that up quickly and replaced the mis-wired one. Interesting afternoon when you are adjusting the output voltage and POP - components on the reg go up in smoke. Luckily this was identified on the bench vs. in the airframe and the only components hooked up were the batt, switch and reg. Turned out they had the input leads solded up in reverse polarity. I had a replacement within a couple days - so another good customer support experience.

I've probably exceeded my limit of home bound UPS shipments this last month and any more will induce some revenge spending on wifey's part - looks like any new stuff will ship to work instead . CF wing tube will be on that list...
