I need a new boom for my Firefly.  I'd like to buy one from TNK but at $285, shipping alone from KY to Idaho/Washington is more than the tube.  If I can't find elsewhere or locally, I'll have to pay the shipping.



Kolb spec is 12' long 5" OD .049"Wall 6061-T6 Aluminum.   If anybody has an extra one (new or used) I would appreciate it, preferably in the Pacific NW.   I believe a Firestar uses the same boom, only it's 13' long.



If anybody needs large parts from TNK in the NW maybe we could partner on shipping.

I think I saw some Firestar spars for sale on Barnstormers, they will be the 

same tubing you need if they are long enough.

Jim D:



Call Travis at Kolb.  See if he has a 2d tube that won't qualify for a 

kit.  They usually have some with a few tiny dings in them that do not 

hurt their strength and serviceability.  I have one on my mkIII that 

has been on there about 14 years and over 2,000 hours.



Usually, you can turn the ding to the bottom and no one will ever know 

the difference between it and a perfect one.
