"Hi Alan, I will check on Monday, 5/22 on the length, number of 2" square tubes. I also will send you my asking price and a couple quotes on shipping if I can get them. Best Regards, Larry Zepp"

2" Square Tube

I see people using 2" square tube in support of building these planes. How many pieces and how long should I buy to construct a 650? Hopefully my kit will arrive within a month. Thanks.See More

hi alan sorry for the delay yes the wing fairing is a must you get more stability doesnt fish tale around and i picked up a litttle speed alot more stable at slower speed,my buddy put them on his and he also swears by them the only thing i would do is use rivnuts so if you need for some reason to remove them you can,they made a big difference..

Hi Alan,

I will check on Monday, 5/22 on the length, number of 2" square tubes. I also will send you my asking price and a couple quotes on shipping if I can get them.
