To anyone on the list:

How thick is the boom tube on a Firefly?



Thanks,

Jimmy:



I don't know about the FF specifically, but most 5 and 6 inch tail 

booms are .058" wall thickness, I think.

PS:  Winter returned to hauck's holler over night.  Glad I am in the 

"mole hole" (basement) working on the mkIII.

The Fireflys use 6061-T6 Aluminum.  The tube used to be 0.049" which is a

non standard size.  They are now 0.052" wall thickness, which is a

standard size made by Alcoa.
