Find THAT in your AC 43.13-! Search the archives and you'll also find remarks indicating that he used the tops of 55 gal drums for the material for control horns, empty dope cans for various metal bits, and the like. Welcome to low 'n' slow homebuilding. A new age it ain't, but it sure is fun. I can attest to that with just about an even 1.0 hrs. in yesterday's logbook with 41CC, after Hurricane Dolly's rains really greened up the countryside. Purrrfect Pietenpoling, and made me go back to the hangar and work on my smoke system some more. I hope to be making smoke with it by the time this year's "Wings 'n' Wheels" event rolls around in September on our our field.

Here's a name I recognize, Jim Hamilton: http://www.airventure.org/2008/7sat2/around_field.html One of my very best friends in Oregon is Jim's brother, Jack. A true low-and-slow flier. They have a place up on Graves Creek, a tributary of the Rogue River, and I flew Jack in to their dirt strip in a Super Cub one beautiful and cool morning for one of my most memorable flights in Oregon. They don't make too many of 'em like Jim and Jack Hamilton anymore...

You should be able to set the welded assembly on to a hard, solid surface (like an anvil, or a piece of steel plate) to act as the backing bar, when you gently use a hammer to stretch the metal back to the shape you want. Of course, if, as you say, the two components were not correctly positioned when tacking, that will be a big contributing factor to your distortion. Usually, it is possible to tap with a hammer to close small gaps before welding off the joints. Good luck. Bill C.
