The ultralight guys came up with a molded plastic streamline "tubing" that slips on over round tubing. It's available through the ultralight supply houses in two different sizes for two different ranges of steel tube sizes. It's paintable, and of course can be slipped off the steel tube if need arises later.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 16 May 2005 04:28:49 -0700
