Spare aluminium tube to extend keel

Post by fab »

Hello everyone,
I would like to extend my HG keel so that the tips do not touch the ground anymore (*); the keel characteristics are : Internal diameter 1.4 inch (3,5cm) / External diameter 1.5 inch (3,8cm)
Does anyone have a spare aluminium tube (from a broken leading edge or keel) ?
The extra tube (length = 10 to 20 inches -25 to 50 cm-) has to be slightly bigger or smaller to fit outside or inside the keel.
Thanks,
Fabien,
(*) ps: If you want to do that, do not extend too much ... think about the landing...
