Air Board section No 1 "A & P sect 286" Tube

Hi
I am looking into getting a batch of aerofoil section tubing made for the undercarriage legs of my Snipe.
The section used is Air Board section No 1, which I believe is the same as Accles & Pollock section No 286.
The tubing will be made out of T45 using the original A & P tooling.

I do not have a price yet, but would like to know if any one else would like to have some made "depending on cost", if so, can you please let me know by PM or email me at- bobnclaire08@yahoo.co.uk


Cheer's.
Bob.

ulpilot and Blue Swallow were makin the A&P 121 trailing edge sections. I think Bob is trying to "defray" the costs of getting Guy Black to make the A&P section 286 for him. See here.

Your correct regarding me having asked Guy about making some A & P sect 286 "Air Board sect No1" tube, as he has acquired the original tooling from the company that took over Accles & Pollock.
As I will be getting some made for myself, I thought that others might want some making at the same time as well, if not, then it's no biggy, I'll just get enough made for myself.
