They are the right size. Over all around 13 x 4 x2. The core is 11.25 x 4 x 2. Rated for 300 psi and used in race cars. They have many sizes and shapes. I believe Lynn Hanover uses Setrabs in his race car. You can view them on C & R's web page: http://www.crracing.com. I'm not aware of anyone trying these in an aircraft.
