Where to buy wing tubes (receiving side)?
I'm building a wing and need a light-weight wing tube that will accept an aluminum tube, 7/8" outside diameter.
Here's are pics of what I'm trying to describe. One picture is of the accepting -tube (it looks plastic, but not sure what it is). The other picture is the aluminum tube that will seat in the accepting-tube.
Anyone know where I can get more?
What do you guys use?

Just what I'm looking for.
What's the difference between anodized and plain tubes?
Thanks for the help.

When we did the Super Duellist 2/60 kits TNT gave us the best price.
The recieving tube can be plain paper, of phenolic. Do not use the paper tubes.
The wing tube, in plain metal, is less expensive than the anodized tube. If you live in the central plain where the air is dry and has no acid rain or other pollutants, you can use the plain tube. Otherwise get the anodized one. Much more corrosion resistant, and stronger too.
