Where to go for custom diameter Carbon / Aluminium spars?

[FlyingRock]

Gents,

I'm looking at adding some wing extensions to my skymule and for that I need longer spars; unfortunately the provided aluminum spars appear pretty non-standard at 7.43mm OD. I had a look around and could not find anyone doing that size.

Does anyone know where I could order custom ones? Could be in aluminium or carbon.

Cheers and thanks

or as a last resort I could rip out and replace the whole sleeve/spar bits with a standard OD one.

? Buy a replacement wing and rip it apart ?      (too expensive ??)

For alum tube, look online at www.aalco.co.uk - they have branches around the country and I have always found them very helpful if I visit them to only buy what for them is a very very small quantity.

Hyperflight.co.uk have quite reasonable prices although you get killed a bit on postage

Easycomposites.co.uk I think it is is another option. Struggle to get that size though I reckon. 7mm plus a wrap of tape/vinyl?

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'll have a look at the websites and check the vinyl option.

Looking forward to posting a nice build thread if I succeed!

Cheers

i gave all the bits of my smashed up skymule on here as spares... the spars he didn't need but i sent them anyway!

Can't remember who though  :brainwave:
