Where do you guys get your aluminum airfoiled srtuts?

I am looking for a fairly large quantity of these in various sizes but especially in the 1 inch size.
I would like to know the direct supplier if possible.

I have found some from an intermediate which does not want to tell me which is his supplier and they are 7$ a feet... That is a bit hard on the wallet...

Thank you for you help!

K&S Engineering has aluminum airfoiled shaped tubing up to 3/4". Tower has it in stock as do many hobby shops. As for the 1" size, Sea Commander (www.seacommander.com) has larger sizes, but as you said - very expensive.

Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, thats the place I got tubes at 8$ a foot.

He tells me that he uses stock tube that he forms to the correct shape. Any idea how this could be done?

3D Joy:

Go to Glenn Torrence Models website which is flygtm.com He has more types of aluminum streamline tubing than you could shake a stick at. It is far less than $7.00 / ft and he is a very good guy to deal with. Good luck
