I had a brain fart while cutting my aileron pushrod tubes in prep for mating my wings this weekend. I marked 65" in from each end and then added the 25/32 or whatever it was to that mark using a set of calipers. All was well until I cut the tube on the wrong line. Bottom line is that I got in a hurry and cut one to long and one too short by the fraction of an inch called out in the plans. If I had not marked two little marks on each cut, it would not have mattered but I cut to the left of the opposite cut line. I got one tube I can use and another that is short and cannot.
So, instead of paying Van's a fortune for shipping and waiting for two weeks to get a new tube, anyone know of anywere in the Southeast to get 6061-T6 1.125" OD x 0.035 wall seamless tubing?
ACS does not list this size on their site.
First screwup that required new parts since the Emp. I feel like an idiot!
