Wing Tubes?

Also at site I mentioned before there's a 30"x7/8" Gator R/C wing tube available and it weighs 4 ozs if you're looking for something lighter and smaller.

BTW if you go 24 you'll be down to about 8-9" penetration.

You can get Gator R/Cwing tubes from www.centralhobbies.com. Don't know if they're the cheapest but the wing tubes are nice.

A 36"x1" aluminum wing tube from Gator R/C weighs <6 ozs or .166 oz per inch. If you're worried about an additional 1.3 ozs then go 24".

My 27% CAP with a similar wing build is about 36%. In other words a 3 ft wing tube should be fine for your plane.

Well it does out pace a buddy's super light 37% Extra with a DA 150. When I told RC Showcase what I was putting it on they laughed and said they fly them with 40s. The only downside is hovering is...
