Nobody carries it in Nashville. Ordered from an Indianapolis.

It welds more easily to various steel alloys. Dirt cars and sprint cars endure so much more flex and bending than any airplane I’ve been around. I’m sure it’s suitable for experimental of course. The heat affected zone is smaller as well. As for gas welding it, I live in the 70’s and up. TIG...

Everyone is using Docol now. 4130 is old news.

Crazy times. This used to be so easy to get. Thanks all.

Can Bluetooth be added to them ? Interested

I’m in Nashville TN. None of the steel suppliers carry or even want to mess with 4130 tubing. I’m not trying to buy 100’ of anything. I need a few 10’ sticks of various size. Mail order is extremely expensive to ship and per foot. What do you builders do for tubing?

Dang I think you nailed it.

Looked at a PA-12 today with these. They look like Cessna pedals but there are too many “serrations”. I can’t tell if that “tab” that supports the bottom of the master is built on or fabricated. Anybody got a clue?

The fact that a non citizen non pilot is behind this makes it 90% of the irritation.

It sucks that it’s a guy in Iceland who doesn’t even fly. He’s using public resources to profit off of a foreign country ( to him). Thats messed up. He wants $9500 for the number I liked.

I inquired about a short number. Dickweed replied from Short N Numbers. $9500. FAA search isn’t accurate. When you search for available, and then go to reserve it… it’s been reserved. The bot beats the human to the availability. Pro capitalist, but again… as said… public resources being abused...

The guy wrote me back. They want $9,500 for the simple N number I would have liked. Yeah that’s crazy. It’s legal, it’s capitalism… it’s just petty.

Building an Experimental. I go onto FAA’s registration page. I live under a rock I guess. Companies go reserve thousands of N numbers. Then they hold you hostage to pay $3000 for it. I get it. Capitalism… supply and demand blah bla bla. N number registration should be tied to an actual airplane...

Flight bay along with a few other things in an apparent office break in. I didn’t ask much more than that. It sounds like they were with the mechanic and the office was broken into after the annual. Lots stolen, those happened to be among the stuff in the file cabinet I’m guessing. I’ve always...

Yes. He’s owned it for 33 years. It’s always been in annual and flying.
