    Hey TS,
    Here is where I get all my CF tubes/rods. They are excellent with product & shipment. Go to the left column & click on "Products List" & select which type of product you need. Link attached.

      Also, my LHS has a rack of CF items, if you don't need them longer than about 24".

          For that length of tube, I'd just go to the local hobby store if that is an option for you. Otherwise, I've used hobbyking in the past for small CF tubes and rods.

                        And also another DSMX Rx called Power Up................Hmmmmm............very interesting.

                        Had never heard of these before so now I gotta go investigate. The thing that really caught my attention is these are in a case unlike Lemons 6 chan

                          yeah, might have to try one. didnt like the Lemons that didnt have a case...plus, I dont ever use the stabilizer, so saving a few bucks on that was well.

                            I bought a couple of the Power Up Rx's. No issues, but I've got limited time on them and they are in planes that wouldn't cause me to curse too much if they crash!
                            I really like the HeadsUp folks. Great place to get the little bits as they have a flat $2.50 shipping [more for carbon :-( ] BTW. no affiliation.
