Pietenpol-List: .090 4130 question

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: "LAWRENCE WILLIAMS"
Subject: Pietenpol-List: .090 4130 questionDoes anyone know about what size .090 (13 gauge) 4130 sheet I would need for my entire Piet project?. Was going to order some .090 sheared to 5/8" for use on the tail feather fittings but neither Wicks or AS shrears it that small so I figured I may as well order enough for the whole airplane.Also, the tail center brace fittings on the plans are labeled 12 gauge rather than 13 gauge like most of the rest, does everyone just use 13 gauge for that?Thank YouRick Holland________________________________________________________________________________

Wicks has sheared 4130 for me down to 1/2" wide. They ask which way to orient thegrain and then they cut it. Even on saturday mornings they have.Dennis ----- Original Message -----
