[NSRCA-discussion] DF Wing tube for Integral

[Verne Koester]

Hi Ed,
I've already done what you're doing. The tube and socket set is a PBG and I copied the following from their web site:

F3A Lightwall 30mm    PBG36TS   30mm x 600mm - Tube & Socket

Make sure you get both the tube and socket. The socket in the Integral is supposed to be 30mm but it's actually a little larger to accommodate the tube that comes with the kit. You'll have to cut the socket out of the fuse and replace it with the PBG. It's a lot easier than it looks. I used a cut-off wheel on my dremel and cut the old socket out by placing the cut-off wheel inside the socket just beyond the plywood donut that's bonded to each side of the inside of the fuse. Then I used a sanding drum to sand off the little section of socket that was still bonded to the inside of the plywood support donut. Took about twenty minutes. I left the donut in place and bonded the new socket to it with the new wings attached and everything lined up. I got my original last year straight from PBG. Desert Aircraft had some this year and I bought my second one from them. Radio South and some other dealers also sell PBG tubes and sockets but I don't know if they stock the 30mm as it's an unusual size. The part number I gave you is a special thin-walled, very light set designed for our purposes. Don't use anything other than a cut-off wheel to cut it as it splinters real easy which I discovered in the usual way.  Hope this helps.

  I'm building an Integral with foam wing replacements and have not yet been able to locate the correct size wing tube and socket.  Does anyone have the exact tube dimensions?

  Thanks
  Ed
