Hello out there,

      Anybody have any experience OR educated guesses with 0.035" wall
thickness, 1.0" OD Aluminum (6061-T6) tubing?  How will this thin a wall
behave over 5' 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 12-15 lbs.


Sincerely,
