Re:I know K & S makes air foil shaped aluminum but..

Not that I've ever seen anywhere, Dennis.

Wouldn't the simplest answer, however, since the K&S alum. tube is so light, be to epoxy inside the appropriate sized CF tube or even flat plate. This I have done.

Another effective route to achieve an aero profile would be to epoxy balsa around CF tube and sand it to an airfoil section.

It certainly would be possible to layup airfoil section hollow CF tubing yourself but I'm not sure that the gains would be worth the amount of work. It sure would be cool though.

Doug/Dennis, I like the idea of putting the composite inside, the tubing also comes telescoping so it is possible to put 2 or three inside each other to make thickwall, I have also had some good sucess brazing/welding the aluminum tube lately.

btw hope you guys don't mind if I pop in on this board too,

cheers eddie
