This octagonal carbon fibre tube has been engineered specifically for drone landing gear, quadcopter and FPV builds and lightweight UAV frames. You can cut the tube into 2 pieces based on your specification; the basic tube is 1003 mm in length. This tube is widely used by drone builders as a lightweight structural element in advanced drone parts, landing gear assemblies and high-performance frames. The octagon profile offers exceptional stiffness with very low mass, a major upgrade over traditional octagon aluminium tubes.

The tube is laminated from High Strength carbon fibre prepreg and epoxy resin. The exterior features a matte clear-coated 200gram twill weave for a clean carbon look. Within the 1 mm wall thickness, fibre layers run in multiple directions, resulting in excellent rigidity and minimal flexing under load. The inner surface is slightly rough which is a natural result of the inner blader production method.

Our tubes are designed with a focus on mechanical strength, not perfect (Automotive) cosmetic appearance. All composite parts can have tiny pinholes or small irregularities in the weave which are not visible at first sight.

Directly Available From Stock

All octagonal tubes are available from stock — ideal for fast prototyping, drone parts replacement and new drone builds.
When larger quantities are needed, we will produce these batches on request and given production lead-time.

Refiflex® Construction System

The unique Refiflex® construction system has been developed (by Refitech/Carbonwebshop) to offer engineers and constructors a flexible and simple method for making lightweight frames and constructions where stiffness is essential. Refiflex® is a construction system of full carbon fiber components with which carbon tubes and tubes can be connected.

The Refiflex® range consists of various carbon fiber connectors and joint plates that are easy to combine with our carbon fiber tubes, with which you can build almost any type of frame. By using glued carbon coupling pieces, heavy aluminum or plastic couplings with mechanical connections become superfluous. The Refiflex® connectors have a very low coefficient of expansion, are chemically resistant, stainless and resistant to temperatures of up to 100 degrees Celsius. These material properties make it possible for many constructions to be conceivable.

High Precision Rectangular Tubes

The rectangular carbon fibre tubes are laminated from prepreg High Strength Carbon fibres and epoxy resin. The outer layer has a “twill” weave with the traditional “carbon look”. The fibres are laminated in different directions in the wall thickness of the tube. This ensures unique stiffness and strength as well as low weight. These rectangular carbon tubes are far more resistant to bending than metal alternatives and are available in 25x25mm (25S), 40x40mm (40S) and 50x50mm (50S) variants.

Carbon Connectors

Refiflex® offers engineers a flexible and simple method for making lightweight frames and constructions where rigidity is essential. By using High Precision Rectangular carbon fiber tubes and carbon connectors, heavy aluminium or plastic connectors with mechanical connections are unnecessary. The carbon fiber tube connectors are stainless and resistant to many chemical substances.

Joint Plates

The carbon joint plates can be used to connect different carbon components, for rigid construction. The carbon joint plates are laminated with high-quality carbon fibres and epoxy resin. In the core, carbon fibres are placed in a longitudinal and transverse direction. This gives the plates optimum strength and stiffness. The carbon joint plates from Refiflex are available in various dimensions.

Adhesives

We suggest using our Epoxy glue araldite 2031. This is a 2-component epoxy glue for carbon en glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites and ideal to built your own frame with our Refiflex® products.
