.125" boom & spar for the Lightninbug and .1875" boom with .125" spar for Bug'X' - how important is it to keep to those diameters? I'm finding it a challenge to find anything other than pultruded at those diameters.
John, the SkyShark P100 has a larger .280" OD. How does this effect weight/performance? I would love to use 1/4" boom for stiffness. I checked out an 1/8 pultruded tube @ the local hobby shop and thought it would be way to bendy/flimsy for fuse use.
