Subject: Pietenpol-List: Material strengthsPieters,Ran across a couple pieces of streamline tubing left over from front struts of 41CC. 2 1/2X7/8X.049. Have some smaller pieces also. What my question is, Could I sub this streamline tubing for the round in the fabing of the split gear? Would it be strong enough for some of Nathan Moss's landings ( I questionhis depth perception sometimes)Corky in cold La________________________________________________________________________________

(.074") 1020 steel tube for the Vee gear struts. As tempting as it may be to use the 2 1/2" X7/8" X.049", I just don'tthink it would be adequate for a gross weigh, drop it in type landing.Chuck G.4 F outside, calm winds - Hearty individuals like Shawn Wolk and Graham Hansen, call this 'Pietenpol Weather' !!!________________________________________________________________________________

Check the Aircraft Spruce Catalog; there is an equivalent round tube vsstreamlined tube comparison for tensile and compresssive strength.Lou larsen----- Original Message -----
