Thank you for telling us about your rides and the gracious offer.
for those of you wanting something cheap, but a bit more sexy.

you may find what your looking for from these guys:

their extrusions look very much like the offering from liquid force.
on-line price list offers a helicopter blade set for $1000.
which includes 2- NACA 0012 extrusions: 4" chord x 6 ft length
that would be enough for 4 struts....nominally $250. each !?
Most likely Al 6061 alloy .
Good strength,.
Suitable for bolted joints (as shown) or even epoxied
Can be welded, but needs to be heat treated to recover T6 temper in heat affected zones (not recommended)

Maybe materials, but not including labor. Full carbon masts cost well over $1000.Bradn wrote:for $250 you could make a full carbon mast, why the aluminium then?
