Looking for some help. Im finishing a clip wing taylorcraft project another guy started. He installed 1" diameter .049 6061 compression tubes. This plane will be for acro. Id this strong enough? Do I have to worry about it cracking. Yhey need to be made new to put plywood reinforcement s behind each fitting to carry load. So steel could be used. Also cable drag wires are getting replaced eith 10-32 wire. Thanks in advance. Trevor
