I've been looking for some nice booms for my anycopter. I've not been able to find a good place to buy any. I haven't even been able to find Square dowel in my local hardware stores (Columbus, Ohio). I'm not sure what to do now. I thought it would be easier to find the stuff, but so far, I've only found bulk stuff like this: http://www.metalsdepot.com/ These are ok if you order in bulk, but I don't feel like paying $22.19 for 4, 2ft. sections or $25.19 for 1, 8ft. piece...
Home Depot only had 3 sided aluminum
Ace hardware didn't have much of anything in the 1/2" size
and another local hardware store had some generic tiny sizes and giant sizes of all kinds of stuff, but no 1/2" wood or metal
Any ideas? Anyone know where David got his red and black aluminum booms for his tricopter?
I've also thought about carbon fiber. I want to keep it cheap and would be fine with wood square dowel if my local stores had it
