    Subject: Re: Bicycle Tubing as a Source for Aircraft?
    From: Lyle Peterson <lyleap@centurylink.net>
    Not necessarily chrome moly but mild steel has been used for aircraft structure before. One issue with bicycle tubing is that it is often much thicker than aircraft tubing, thus a weight problem. There are often few straight sections of tubing in a bicycle. No length is long enough to be useful for framing an aircraft. Best thing is to check the price of tubing suitable for aircraft.
