Besides the wingtips, I am building new Vertical Stabilizer, Rudder, and Elevators.
The Plans show using 5/16" for most all of this. I could not find 5/16" 6061 T6 so I bought 3/8" instead.
What do you guys think? Will that be OK to use?
Thanks Chris

Would'nt the heavier tubing on the elevator and rudder make em more likely
to flutter?
