Go aluminum it looks like you may need it lol. If you are stuck on carbon get a thicker tube

Glue it back together man. Where's your sense of adventure? Some rolled up news paper into a tube inserted into the CF tube and a liberal dose of CA your prolly better than if you bought a new one. Saved money too.

You getting me in trouble over here Pete Robbins is slowly rubbing off on my flying it seems as of late....

If you can't find the correct OD replacement, maybe you can find something very close to the ID in aluminum and run a tube inside of a tube? Just curious since it's a jacked up size: http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant...p=2&top_cat=60

LOL I like getting ppl into trouble especially when I know I'm too far away to be thumped.

Finding the right size tube as a replacement is not always so easy. Whenever I've had to do a change out I usually have to open the socket tubes to make em fit or build up a layer inside.

See if you can find Mark Lesebergs freestyle video from the 2006 Master at Triple Tree....
I remember seeing his wings flex so much I thought for sure they were going to snap off.....Amazing they didn't!

okay guys thanks for the help, i ordered a tube from graphtech. my ID of broken tube was 1.000" and i ordered the 1"x36" so will have to shave a bit of length off no bigge. will epoxy the three together real well and fly again soon!

I think you need a double wing tube on all your planes from now on....crazy bastard

Glad you found a solution!!
