Gator RC 2" (50.8mm) x 48" (1220mm) Carbon Fiber Wing Tube & Sleeve – GC1020

The Gator RC 2" (50.8mm) Carbon Fiber Wing Tube & Sleeve is built for extreme giant-scale RC aircraft where maximum strength, rigidity, and precise wing alignment are critical. Made to Gator RC specifications using a cross-weave carbon fiber construction, this tube provides excellent structural support while keeping weight lower than many metal alternatives.

Designed for very large RC airplanes, giant-scale builds, and high-load wing joiner applications. Always verify your required tube size before ordering.

Modeler’s Tip

For extreme giant-scale aircraft, inspect the tube and sleeve fit before every major flying session. Large airframes place higher loads on wing joiners, so early detection of wear, cracking, or binding is important.

Wing Tube FAQs

What size aircraft is this for?

This 2" wing tube is intended for extreme giant-scale RC airplanes and very large custom builds requiring a 50.8mm wing joiner.

Is the sleeve included?

Yes. This listing includes the carbon fiber wing tube and matching sleeve/socket.

Can I use a smaller tube?

No. Wing tubes must match the aircraft’s required diameter exactly. Using an undersized tube can create poor fit, excess movement, or structural failure.

Why use carbon fiber on giant-scale aircraft?

Carbon fiber provides high strength and rigidity while reducing weight compared to many metal alternatives, which is especially important on large-span aircraft.
