A while back Doc Mosher wrote a note to the list about saving money on tubing by dealing with Dillsburg Aeroplane works ( I think that's the proper full name )in Pennsylvania. I've dealt with them before but for those non-belivers ( if there are any ) I ordered my cabane strut streamlined tubing this morning. I called Dillsburg useing the dimensions from the ACS cataloge, ACS's price is $17.60 per foot. Dillsburg quoted me $9.00 per foot for exactly the same tubing and also had it in several different wall thicknesses which ACS doesn't. When I seemed surprized that they had different wall thicknesses the fellow at Dillsburg said that they have "the most complete inventory of tubing in the world". That's real close to half price!!! I saved $69.00 on the eight feet that I ordered!!!! Like Doc I have no business interest with Dillsburg but to buy streamlined tubing from the aircraft cataloges is like throwing money away. They took my credit card # and shipped it today. Ed G.________________________________________________________________________________
