[TowerTalk] 40-2CD question

[Wayne Kline]

Hi George  The original Chushcraft 40-2CD has the discrepancy you said. Has to do with the dim from C/L of the boom  with the added insulator .   The tube you need is 1 1/4 od  .058 wall   72 inches long.  Stan       your  looking at the EG tube on the New XM240CD  not  the EG tube on the  40-2CD Wayne W3EA
