I just took down a 5 band quad I built from fiberglass tubes from MGS. They are still in excellent shape and I'd recommend them. The only problem might be shipping. I was lucky enough to have someone pick them up when MGS used to do Dayton.

Make sure you follow the treatment instructions for fiberglass. Pick a good UV coating to seal and protect them, else they will start to break down in a year or two. I've been happy with Krylon UV Clear...

Happy Building!

Brett,

Try http://www.mgs4u.com/fiberglass-tube-rod.htm to see if they have
what you want.  If not, Google on Fiberglass tubing and you will find
many other resources.
