Hello everyone. I am currently designing a large airplane that utilizes a tail boom for the tail surfaces to mount onto. I looked at the general dimensions of the TRex 600 tail boom and it is about the right length. I am wondering if anybody knows the wall thickness of the TRex 600 aluminum tail boom. Also, is the tail boom completely round? I would also like to know this information for the TRex 700 as well. Also, if anyone can tell me the weights of just the tail boom itself, that would be really awesome.

Thank you all in advance, you will be a great help to my project.
