Question: I have one of the new VMAR Beaver 45-60 ARF's with plug in wings. What size are the wing spar tubes? They appear to be aluminum.

 

Answer: The VMAR Beaver 45-60 was upgraded in 2006 to include a plug in wing. The wing is joined and mated to the fuselage using two aluminum tubes. The tube sizes are as follows:

2) Short Tube: 11.4 in. (289 mm) long x .43 in. (11 mm) OD
