<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Theoretically you need 3 times the diameter to
transfer the moment. I go 6D into the wing (about 15 cm) and never had any
problems</FONT></DIV>

lengths</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here's a question for anyone that's built a few
planes from different manufacturers. How much wing tube is the optimum
to have sticking into each wing? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> We cut our wings for 9.75" of tube
in each wing but that's only because that's the length so that the false rib
can support the gear plate. What if the tube only went into the wing
8"....is that enough to stabilize it?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm thinking of another (of my many)
experiments by clipping the wings of an Aries by removing the root.
The wings I have already have a wing tube mounted so I'd be shortening the
amount of wing tube that goes into the wing.</FONT></DIV>
