If it is the same or similar tube as the Edge I would buy a lighter one.. It has got to be one of the heavier component on the plane besides the gear..

Our lightweight tube is 6061t6 seamless with .035 wall. If you can get that or heavier wall it will work.

Well to continue the story of my misplaced wing tube...I had purchased a used Extra Special, I'm third owner, and was getting it flight ready when I had to move and lost the wing tube. I recently purchased a salvaged set of wings and elevators from a 28% WH Edge, just to get the wing tube, well guess what?.....LO...the wings and elevators seem to be a perfect fit for the Extra fuselage.........I haven't actually tried to attach them, but it would make sense if they did fit.........how cool is that.......WC
