Airframe tubes from the source?

[airwolfe1]

Has anyone ever found a manufacturer who makes airframe tubes? I was wondering how many and how much it would cost to make it worth while for a club to split the cost. Is it worth it?

https://www.paper-tubes.net/ this web site lists several manufacturers. Anyone familier?

I guess it depends on exactly how many tubes you plan on buying...

Both BMS Balsa Maching Service and/or Totally Tubular will sell you large amounts of body tubes at discount prices..

From what I can tell they appear identical to me..

for example BMS allows you to bunch together different body tube sizes and if you purchase 100+ you get a 40% discount..
