stab tubes.

[John Petterson]

Glenn,

I measured a couple of the standard Gator tube sets, both tubes (two
different ones) measured out in the .438-.440 inch range.  Looks like
you got a bad tube, but the stab and fuse tubes should be OK.

Glenn,

I have been looking at the Ice Point and am seriously considering it.  I
have a couple of questions.  What is the overall quality of the plane,
construction covering etc.  What engine are you using?  I am a big YS
fan
and would like to use a 1.40 with a Hyde mount and nose ring however,
the
pictures of the engine compartment don't look like this would work in
fact I
thing the rails that run along the cheeks are the engine mounts and YS
will
shake that to death easily.  Maybe my first electric flyer?  The fact
that
they have given you the wrong parts doesn't impress me either.  I used
to
get wing and stab tubes from GATOR, their stuff is great but I don't
know
the size off hand.
