thanks Steve, unfortunately the SLEC offering is too big, the phenolic tubes are 22.37mm OD, and the smaller size is too small at 16mm OD, problem is that the tube set is for all flying elevators with the bell cranks that control them pivoting on the center section within the fuz, the chap that built the plane originally possibly used a tail boom off a helicopter which has failed in flight, finding a good replacement the right size is proving to be a problem.

Hi Terry, yes, I've bought one of those to go with all the others that I've tried, they are a bit too small, not a problem as far as the elevators are concerned, but the bellcranks are a bit more of a problem. Looking on the bright side, I'll soon have a good collection of tubes and carbon tube if I keep trying them all.
