Default Boomerang Nano wing tube help

Is there anyone who owns a Boomerang Nano that could provide me with the OD diameter and length measurements please? Im trying to source a replacement tube.

Many Thanks in advance!

I was surprised to discover that the tube in mine is an imperial diameter: 3/4in dia x 31in long. metric dia was from 18.9mm to 19.1mm as it varied a bit along the tube.

Thanks Gordon,

finding imperial diameter carbon tube in the UK is proving difficult!

I thought that might be the case. 3/4in dia aluminium tube might be more easily available over here. If using that I'd try to stuff it with another length of tube, aluminium or carbon fibre, or even hardwood dowel, as belt and braces. I've had my Wren 44 Nano up to 150mph in a vertical dive from 1500ft measured with Spekky telemetry and am always careful with the pull-out. So if I ever need to replace my tube I'll have to think carefully what to use for a replacement.
