Streamline Aluminium Strut supplier?

[Pookemon]

Hi all,

 

After a few years of "life" I'm getting back into my Karatoo build.  I'm wondering if anyone knows of a potential supplier for Aluminium Strut's (wing struts)?  I tried Airport Metals (having purchased some materials from them previously) and they can't supply it.  My other option is streamline round tube (which was the original spec) with foam/fibreglass.

 

Thanks,

Aircraft Spruce used to sell it according to my old cattledog, but the size they had was small for most decent sized planes. Look it up on the net.

I bought streamline tube for my CH701 from Hughes Lightwing  factory in Ballina.

Thanks - the listed sizes they have are a bit different - but I've contacted Hughes to see if they can help.

 

Aircraft Spruce don't have streamlined Al listed, but adding up the equivalent to the quote I got from Airport Metals leaves ~ $800 for shipping.

Maybe talk to Ole at Australian Aircraft Kits ...
