F1J / 1/2A Carbon Tailbooms for Sale
From: Walt Ghio
I just received a new shipment of carbon tailbooms from Stepan Stefanchuk in the Ukraine. These are the same as I have been selling the last few years. The weight is approximately 20 to 22 grams. The big end diameter is 1.080 inches the small end is .300 diameter and the length is 38 inches. The cost is forty-five dollars per tailboom. I can mail these to anybody who wishes to purchase them.
