    Default Thickness of the Control Column tube wall?

    Does anyone know the wall thickness of the main control column tube that the gears are attached too?

    0.046” to 0.047”. I could not find a source for the yoke tubing. Went with thicker wall titanium with the correct OD.. bored the end to fit the joints. Is 40% lighter and has 5% less strength than steel....went with thicker wall to compensate for the decrease in strength and the fact that I don’t know what type of steel alloy was used?
