Hi Guys, I'm working on the control system this weekend and after studing the plansagain for the umpteenth time I can't figure out why it calls for welding onsome components and brazing on others. I realize brazing doesn't have thestrength of a weld so why not weld everything instead of brazing the fewitems indicated on the plans? Am I missing something here? My progress after two years of on again, off again work on the Pietconsists of the fuselage, tail, landing gear, and 30 wing ribs completed. Ihave an A-65 to install but it needs to be majored since it's been instorage for the past 20 years. My wife and I are planning to attend Brodhead this year and if I'm luckymaybe get a ride in an Air Camper. I've never flown in one but have seenquite a few of them. The two that really impressed me for the quality ofworkmanship displayed were Mike Cuys' and Jim Malleys' planes. They reallyset the standard with their attention to detail and craftsmanship.Sam________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2001 21:31:58 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Welding or Brazing

Sam,All the experts that I bounce this off of tell me that brazing and 4130chrome moly don't mix. They say that if you're using 4130...weld only don'tbraze.walt---------------------------------------------------------- Original Message -----
