Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: 4130 tubing. - Streamlined tubing?Bert...you got your answer on streamline tubing. Dillsburg is definitely the place. They claim to have the largest supply of tubing in the world and from what I've heard from those who have been there that's probably an accurate statement. They are also the nicest people to deal with. Yes, streamlined tubing is expensive but it is quite a bit less at Dillsburg. I got mine there for a bit over $300.00. Incidentally, I abandoned my project of constructing my own streamlined lift struts using rectangular tubing sandwiched in shaped poplar (similar to what Gary Price did on his Piet). After making one and weighing it I found that it came in heavier than originally calculated, by a total of 15 lbs. for all four struts which would have been prohibitive Don Hicks________________________________________________________________________________
