I'm trying to shop for a new boom tube for my FS 1 I just broke.  I have the plans and builders manual in my hangar but I'm still recuperating a bit and won't be going there for a couple more days. Meanwhile I'd like to find this costly to ship piece here locally. 



I'm hoping someone here has the size(5" I know) and specs for the boom tube for the early FS. I need to know what alloy, wall thickness and overall length. 



Thanks, guys.

Morning Thom:



Give Travis a call at TNK, 606-862-9692.



They usually have some seconds on hand that have cosmetic blemishes that 

they can not send out with a kit.



I am sure you can get a good price on it that may offset the high shipping 

cost.

Thom, Mine is 5" .049 wall thickness. Pretty it's 6061-T6. John's right, get it from Kolb. I had to buy one from Wick's for the Cummie and it was $400 and I hauled it home.

John and Rick,



Thanks for the tips. I'd like to check locally before calling Travis. Any idea how long the tube needs to be? I'll be able to check myself in a few days but if you know, please advise.



Thanks again.

Thom, Well that pretty much precludes getting the tube from anyone but Kolb as the standard length for aluminum tubing is 12'.
