Hi all,

I'm thinking about using Al tubing, similar to that used for the aileron
push tubes (in the LNC4) to channel my wiring to my wingtip.  At the same
time I was going to use the tube as my ground bus to the wingtip.  Any
thoughts?

PS The one challenge I may have is locating tubing longer than 12' !


[Ed... contact a local AL supplier, there's probably an Alcoa distributor
somewhere close to you.  You'll find that standard mill lengths are
probably 20 feet, and since this isn't structural you certainly don't
need to use something as expensive as 6061 either.  Let us know what you
find out.       <Marv>              ]
