ARF CF wing Tubes sizes?
Hey Guys, I have a favor to ask. I'm building a cl-415 and plan to make the horizontal stab two piece. So I'd like a CF wing tube about 1/2"-5/8" x about 15"-18"
Mny ARF's replacement wing tubes are very cheap compared to the prices for 60" lengths + shipping If you know of one or two in the range please let me know, I just can't get much thickness and length info from the manufacturer's sites Thanks |

Ram,
Thanks those are much better prices, but some of the ARF replacements are less than third of that on ebay. I guess some of those $$ would stay in Ohio though ;) If I can't find it I'll shop there Actually looking over his site the aluminum ones with sleeves are pretty reasonable,, I may go that route Happy new year |

I'm a penny pincher when it comes to my scratch builds, it goes way back to when I couldn't afford to pay much for my hobby fix. That why I taught myself to scratch build, I couldn't afford kits or ARFs. Now that I can afford the CF something instinctively stops me from spend $40 If can spend just $10 and do the extra work of making a sleeve myself. Go figure?

Along those lines,
It took willpower, but I went ahead and ordered a tube/sleeve set from TNT, they sell some servo horns I was planning on buying for another project, so I killed 2 birds with one shipping charge Thanks for the tip ;) |

Going with TNT gives you a reputable dealer with quality stuff.... [sm=thumbs_up.gif] |
RE: ARF CF wing Tubes sizes?
He sure did,,
Well I hadn't heard anything from TNT yet so I shot them a email,, They were waiting on a few servo arms that were back ordered. I told them I'd pay the extra $2-$3 to mail the servo arms out when they got them, because waiting on the wing tube had me at a stand still. She said she's mail the Tube/sleeve asap and eat the cost of shipping the arms later because they were out of stock,, Now that's great customer service. |
