Subject: Pietenpol-List: Metal partsDon't know if this has been covered in the archives -- probably has, but...do folks still build metal parts per the plans, i.e. 16 gauge mild steel, or 12 gauge mild steel, for example? Or, does everyone substitue 4130 nowadays, and if so, what gauge of 4130? Has anyone compiled a list that could be posted giving thickness of 4130 for various parts including for the control sticks andtorque tube? Only a month to Brodhead! Fred B.

Fred,There are lots of conversion charts out there. Most of them just add to the confusionbecause the thicknesses listed are not availablefrom the mills.Also, available tubing thicknesses are different than available sheet thicknesses.Try these:Gage to decimal for TUBING11 ga .12012 ga N/A13 ga .09514 ga .08316 ga .06517 ga .05818 ga .04920 ga .03522 ga .028Gage to decimal for SHEET11 ga .12512 ga .10013 ga .09014 ga .08016 ga .06318 ga .05020 ga .04022 ga .032 or .025Greg Cardinal ----- Original Message -----
