Elevator Torque tubes

[bonanzadrv]

What size tubes are you guys using??? I see on the skybolt and firebolt plans it calls for 3/4x.049. But the An490 is made for a .035 tube.


On the firebolt plans it says to turn the An490 down to fit.


Talking to a model 12 builder and they use .035 tubes which makes sense because that fits the An490.


Any reason to stick with .049 or switch to .035???? I hate to turn down brand new An-490's


Thanks
Bill
