A year or so ago I read an article about an airplane called a Longster. The origonal way to build was not to weld the tubing at all. Instead, they built it with sheet steel gussets, brazed to the tubing.From what I hear, brazing is no longer acceptable for a/c use, because of a problem with dissimilar metals, and electric corrosion.If you silvar soder, you may run into the same problem, and a silve sodered part may not be considered air worthy.Just something to think about I really don't know.Bob>From: del magsam >Reply-To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>To: piet aircamper >Subject: Pietenpol-List: welding>Date: Tue, 18 Jan 2000 04:50:39 -0800 (PST)>>> listening to the welding posts.
