All the tubing used is to the British specification HT30 TF (mandrel drawn tube). The round tubing used in the Wing is mainly 17g imperial tube, this is consistant with Hang glider construction. The largest diameter (cross tubes) is 2 5/8" sleeved with 2 1/2". The leading edges are a composite of 2 1/4", 2 1/8", 2" and 1 7/8". The A frame sides are 1 3/4" and the 'A' frame bottom is 1 1/8". The Kingpost uses 1 1/8" and 1" sleeving. The Keel uses a composite of 2 1/8" 2", 1 7/8" and some 1 3/4". The Fin is 1". There is also some HE30 channel and HS30 1/8" and 3/8" plate.
