Pookemon Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hi all, After a few years of "life" I'm getting back into my Karatoo build. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a potential supplier for Aluminium Strut's (wing struts)? I tried Airport Metals (having purchased some materials from them previously) and they can't supply it. My other option is streamline round tube (which was the original spec) with foam/fibreglass. Thanks, Scott S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Aircraft Spruce used to sell it according to my old cattledog, but the size they had was small for most decent sized planes. Look it up on the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekliston Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I bought streamline tube for my CH701 from Hughes Lightwing factory in Ballina. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pookemon Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 Thanks - the listed sizes they have are a bit different - but I've contacted Hughes to see if they can help. Aircraft Spruce don't have streamlined Al listed, but adding up the equivalent to the quote I got from Airport Metals leaves ~ $800 for shipping.
