> Not long ago someone mentioned the "emachineshop" for getting metal> parts machine cut and produced.I was the one who had the emachineshop laser cut parts made. They will use4130 is you make a special request. I used 4140 which they have readilyavailable. The parts I needed did not need to be welded so 4140 was goodfor me.It would be great if someone would draw up all the parts for the Piet andGN-1 in CAD. My parts are for a modified GN-1 and will only work on myplane.I can't reccomend emachineshop any longer. They have raised their pricedabout 400 or 500% since I used them. They are insane on their pricing nowUNLESS you buy 15 sets or more of a certain part. They no longer cater tothe "one-off" guys like us. The reason I wrote such good things of thembefore was for the overall experience with them.... quality of parts andprice. Now it's only quality that is good...It's unfortunate because they had an excellent product at a reasonableprice.If someone were to draw up all the parts for a Piet and have 15 or more setsfabricated the cost for each set would only be about $175 or so. Just oneset would cost over $700..... see what I mean?Replicraft used to be the place to go to get all metal parts for GN-1's andPiets.... until the owner ran off with about 10 open orders and more than$10K (of that $1300 was mine).You'd find better pricing at your local lasercutting shop than you wouldwith emachineshop.DJ VeghN74DVMesa, AZwww.imagedv.com/aircamper________________________________________________________________________________
