ATM 0.035" wall-thickness TRUSS TUBING



Hello again out there,

        Anybody have any experience with 0.035" wall thickness on 1.0" OD
Aluminum (6061-T6) tubing?  Can I get away with this thin a wall over
5'-6' lengths on an 18" ultra-light Dob?  Haven't yet calculated the
total weight on the upper end, but I think it'll max out at around 18
lbs. (with max 3.5 lbs. of optics).

Sincerely,

Carl Woebcke
