First for some introduction. I decided my next project will be a Skybolt (bought the plans at SnF); I finished a RV-10 back in 2009. My reason for the Skybolt was fairly simple, I want to scratch build an airplane. The RV's are beautiful airplanes, but I have learned about aluminum, time to learn a new skill. Plus - I want to join the club of builders, not just assemble a kit. I am a fairly young guy (35), no wife, no kids, by day I am a mechanical engineer. I am planning for this project to take 8 to 10 years.

Now for my question, I have been searching for a good tubing supplier since Dillsburg is apparently closing up. I have looked at Wicks, Aircraft Spruce and Airplarts Inc. Anyone else I should be looking at?

Thanks - Jason
