I've been researching prices for stainless steel tubing with the hopes of using it for my build instead of EMT conduit. Initially, I was disappointed to find internet prices in the range of $50 - $90 per 20 foot length, however, I just found a local source in the $29/20' price range. I believe that this is probably worth it in the long run as I won't have to worry about corrosion for a long long time. The sizes that I'm looking at using are 1/2" OD x 18ga round 304 stainless and 3/4" x 16ga square 304 stainless tubing for the longerons. I'm trying to guess just how much round tubing I'll need for my build and I'm guessing that 100" will be sufficient.
Can those of you who've already built your cages give me an idea as to how much you used on your build? I am planning for a 67" prop and two tandem seats.
Thanks!
