Sorry, I don't get the need for sarcasm.
You'd probably need around 2mm wall thickness, 300mm OD...and given you'd probably not want your telescope to look like an industrial oil pipe...a nice high gloss cosmetic finish.
As I mentioned way earlier...GSO can get them, but the OEM cost will add around $US700 to the price per OTA....given the benefits, a needless expense IMHO.
If it was $100-200 it would be a no brainer... the CF version would look cool if nothing else.
