From: "echobravo4" Shrinkers/stretchers work well as long as the metal wont be welded. The heat will tend to flatten the metal out again. -------- Earl Brown I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be.

From: "taildrags" Earl: right you are. However, all of Ed Fisher's aluminum rib designs employ riveted connections using pulled rivets, no welding. And the metal is all so thin that you'd have to be a real hand with the torch to weld any of it except fishmouth connections on tube joints and clusters with decent wall thickness to let you run a bead. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power, 72x36 Culver prop Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=499596#499596 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
