Brief Description:  Fishing Pole Tube 1

I decided to place a fishing pole tube in the aft fuselage. I ended up putting it on the bottom of the fuselage so as to gain maximum length and width with a relatively simple mounting system; it's not as convenient to load though, as mounting it up higher would be. I fabricated it by using a 3 in PVC pipe as a mold and using epoxy resin on a two-ply layup. I used wax paper as a release agent. It's quite light and sturdy. I made three Adel-like clamps out of .032 6061 and welded three 8-32 captive studs on the bottom fuselage. After I put the aft baggage compartment skin on, I'll cut out a hole and fabricate a flange out of fiberglass to mount to the skin. I'll also cut the aft end of the tube and fiberglass a cap on it after I've run the empennage control cables and assessed clearance issues.
