[NSRCA-discussion] Wing adjuster socket material

[Anthony Romano]

Lance,
Good ideas. I was leaning toward the dowel thing since the ply seemed heavy. 
Really like the home made wing socket idea.
Found Mcmaster-Carr does sell what appear to be the right size for around $9 
for 40". Found some plastic tubing that some wire rod came in that was the 
right size. I just hope it lasts. Thanks to those who offered there spares.
