Paul thank you for the fast response.
The 6"x 3/4" wall tube is not a problem as we stock some 3 x 4 metre lenghts at all times as we use this size for propeller and rudder shaft tubes. The other sizes we stock are 4"x 5/8".
Paul there has been much descussion on intake manifolds. In the shipyard we use 48.5 x 4.5 mm wall tube that is at 0 temper and this bends in a normal water pipe bender. Look for 6061 0 temper or eneal it by heat first. Heat till a match stick leaves a black mark after being stroked.

Thank you for the information on PSRU.

Do you have a DXF file on this as it will save me some drawing, I will send my project back after I finalise the design.
I live in Perth Western Australia and I would be happy to have you down under.
I have attached two photos of my project, the plug was moulded this week and I expect to remove the mould in the morning.

Regards Don

That is going to be a cool looking airplane Don.
Yes I will zip up a bunch of DXF's from ACAD 11 and send them to you.
Perth is more of a problem as I would have to get a non UAL flight
from Sydney. Possible however. I might be able to talk my wife
into coming along. Been bugging her to come to Aus with me.
