Pietenpol-List: Re: Welding Tabs On Aluminum Struts
Original Posted By: Dan Yocum
Michael,As has been mentioned many times before, welding aluminum usually will weaken thematerial in the weld zone. Specific alloys are affected differently, but inthe case of 6061, the strength gets reduced as much as 40% within 1" of the weld.You probably don't want to be weakening your lift struts.I would say that welding tabs to your aluminum struts would be classified as a"bad" idea. Mechanical fastening should be fairly easy to do neatly.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2011 08:48:41 -0500

Both of my sons (age 3 and 6) are VERY eager to go up when the plane is done, onlyprecondition my wife has put is a BRS and seat belts. I like the idea ofa climbing harness, though!!

I can vouch for Don's "5 Year Old" rule... although he is speaking of HIS kids,he took my son (Tyler) up at Brodhead when he was 5 years old. I think Tylerwill remember that forever...

Please keep in mind=2C while you are making it impossible to unbuckle and get out=2C if there was an accident=2C I would never want to think that they could not unbuckle and get out of a burning airplane if I was incapacitated. The first time we took Will flying in the Travel Air=2C at around 3=2C he was trying to get out to wingwalk "like Waldo" (his favorite movie!). Thank goodness it has a two-place front seat and Karen was there to prevent it. My personal vote would be that if the child is young enough for you to be afraid they might unbuckle and get out=2C they are too young to fly alone. No one should ever be constrained so that they could not escape.My 2 cents=2CGene> Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Will a children's car seat fit in a Piet?
