I'm curious.... the Fisher Celebrity my dad and I are building hasaluminum control tubes/assemblies. Construction is easy as it either isbolted together or riveted. We built the entire assembly in a few hours andit's light too. I'd say you could shave about 2 lbs as opposed to 4130.I havent yet decided if I'll stick to plans or go aluminum. Any opinions?DJ VeghMesa, AZGN-1 Builderwww.raptoronline.comN74DV________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 05 Mar 2002 21:21:06 -0600
