Hello, low 'n' slow fliers;Another source of metal tubing and stuff for you. I bought all of my 4130 tubing from Shapiro Supply in St. Louis, MO (http://www.shapirosupply.com) and their prices beat Aircraft Spruce and Wicks for the materials that I needed. They don't carry everything, but do have the most common sizes. I made up a complete list and ordered everything I needed at one time, rather than piecing it out. It turns out that unless you're building a tube-and-rag airplane, the cost of the raw 4130 isn't a big part of the project cost anyway.Oscar ZunigaMedford, Oregonmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.netJoin the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com________________________________________________________________________________
