Hope everyone survived o.k. What a b..ch Frances was. We've justnow had our power turned back on, and the people from Daytona and south got hammered.Thanks to all of the volunteer utility companies that come down to get thingsback to normal. We saw several convoys of bucket trucks from N.C., headedsouth yesterday. They're our heroes.Larry Ragan Jacksonville, Fl. lragan(at)hotmail.com ________________________________________________________________________________

Please understand what the message is regarding welding. Yes, with the properknowledge and equipment, 4130 can be MIG welded, or TIG welded or diffusion bonded,or even glued into bicycle-type fittings. Done properly, MIG welding cansave hours of work and produce beautiful and very reliable assemblies.HOWEVER, for the normal homebuilder, who has a competent hobbyist's skill level,cannot or will not spend the money on a heat-treat oven, and/or won't be ableto subject his work to the rigorous inspection that is performed by most liability-consciousmanufacturers, oxy-acetylene welding provides the safest andcheapest way to fabricate a strong assembly of 4130.Mike Hardaway ----- Original Message -----

The Fla., Alabama and Georgia guys (as well as workers from Tenn., MO and a bunchof others I didn't recognize the markings on the truck) were OUR heroes lastSeptember when NC and VA got hit. None of us will ever be even, and maybe that'sgood.Hank (Took 9 months for the airport to fix my hangar door so I could get my planeout!) J ----- Original Message -----
