Original Centuri Taurus Tube Size

[Shadowspawn]

Help! I’m trying to determine the size of the middle tube on the original Centuri Taurus kit. That tube on my built bird from the 1980’s has a crimp in it and I want to replace it. Looking for the size of it; would really appreciate a lead on where I could buy a replacement tube.

OD (including paint) on mine is 23.3mm. It looks like Centuri ST-8 on the Balsa Machining Service list is what you seek.

Oh, okay. That’s a great help! Thanks so much. I’ll get after it!
