Most carbon composite tubing I found was unsuitable due to being exactly 1.5" ID, too tight a fit.
Maclean has some that's perfect for 38mm minimum diameter airframes:
Item #35072, 1.53" ID, 1.63" OD, weight 0.167 lbs/ft
You can order any length, up to 14 foot max, for $17.55/ft, no minimum order.
Size comparison: 38mm tubes from Balsa Machining and LOC/Precision are both 1.525 ID, 1.635 OD, and phenolic from PML is 1.525 ID, 1.65 OD.
Acme fin cans can fit any OD up to 1.67. I suppose one can assume that any motor retainers that fit the above tubes will fit these.
To order call Adam Weeks at 801-565-8003 ext 124
