The cabane fittings should be just fine. First off, they do not even carry muchload, and secondly, the welds are not really structural, since the fittings arecomprised of a channel inside another channel, and the welds are primarilyjust to hold the two parts in place relative to each other. If those welds wereto fail completely, they still would not come apart.As you say, the welds were professionally done, and will not be subject to vibration,so cracking is not likely at all.I'd really only give some thought to the major load carrying parts like the motormount, lift struts, etc., where a failure would be catastrophic.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: off topic but true

Had this email sent to me today and thought I would share itYou're a 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded and dying in the jungle somewhere in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam .. It's November 11, 1967. LZ (landing zone) X-ray. Your unit is outnumbered 8-1 and the enemy fire is so intense from 100 yards away, that your Commanding Officer) has ordered the MedEvac helicopters to stop coming in. You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns and you know you're not getting out. Your family is half way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day. Then - over the machine gun noise - you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter. You look up to see a Huey coming in. But.. It doesn't seem real because no MedEvac markings are on it. Captain Ed Freeman is coming in for you. He's not MedEvac so it's not his job, but he heard the radio call and decided he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire anyway. Even after the MedEvacs were ordered not to come.He's coming anyway. And he drops it in and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 3 of you at a time on board. Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire to the doctorsand nurses and safety. And, he kept coming back!! 13 more times!!Until all the wounded were out. No one knew until the mission was over that the Captain had been hit 4 times in the legs and left arm. He took 29 of you and your buddies out that day. Some would not have made it without the Captain and his Huey. Medal of Honor Recipient, Captain Ed Freeman, United States Air Force, died last Wednesday at the age of 70, in Boise, Idaho May God Bless and Rest His Soul. I bet you didn't hear about this hero's passing, but we've sure seen a whole bunch about Lindsay Lohan, Tiger Woods and the bickering of congress over Health Reform. Medal of Honor Winner Captain Ed Freeman Shame on the media !!! Now... YOU pass this along. Honor this real hero.

Carson,Thanks for posting this. I had not seen it. Calling this politically-tainted andposted for political reasons is unfair. Not sure where that was pulled out of.Especially on Veterans Day. Sounds to me, we have some here that are a bittoo politically sensitive. I do believe this should be a no politics zone, butI don't see where this was political. Some on the list tend to jump pretty hardon opinions which they disagree, Pietenpol related or not. This can reallyhave a dampening effect. Nobody likes their opinions bashed. Play nice!

Well, the fact this particular viral email is distributed by the "right" (I gotthis a couple years ago from a really right wing freak buddy of mine), and it'snot quite accurately depicted, calling it somewhat political isn't a huge stretch...but I digress.Keep in mind I'm a registered Republican, union member (can you say dichotomy?),who only votes for local politicians. I'm about as apolitical as they get...but again, I digress.The phenomena is true. I live in Chickamauga GA. Ever hear of it? As someonewho is usually with an entirely new set of folks EVERY working day of my life,this comes up a lot in "single serving" conversations. I can positively statethat in the MANY hundreds of folks I've asked (if not thousands), 99 percentstate they've never even heard the word.However, I also live about 6 miles from a short lived national news making tragedywhere the owner of a crematorium simply stacked up the bodies he was supposedto cremate (due to a broken oven) and handed back bags of ash and concrete.About 80 percent of the people I talk to (if not more) know of this... Onceit was determined he was a little tweaked, and not the leader of some weirdsatanic ritual cult, the story was dropped. Sad people know of that guy, but not the second largest battle of the civil war.Some 30,000 guys died, at their brothers' hands, in two days. As far as Ican tell, the US population back then was about a tenth of what it is today, sothat's like 300,000 folks being killed these days. And it wasn't the largestbattle of the war, and only in second place by a really small margin. I guess the culpable result of a 24hr news cycle. Another pattern I notice isthat most of the naturalized citizens I meet DO know of the Battle of Chickamauga.This being Vet's day, I also sincerely thank all of those who served!ToolsRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2011 09:23:53 -0800 (PST)

That evening we participated in OperationFrequent Wind, the evacuation of the U.S. embassy in Saigon. General Quarterswas sounded and I was told to go to my bunk because I didn't know squat aboutship operations yet. We went into territorial water for a brief period thenpulled back out to sea. When it was all over I returned to my shop. That wasthe last official day of the Vietnam War and I was now a Vietnam vet and havethe medals to prove it!

That evening we participated in OperationFrequent Wind, the evacuation of the U.S. embassy in Saigon. General Quarterswas sounded and I was told to go to my bunk because I didn't know squat aboutship operations yet. We went into territorial water for a brief period thenpulled back out to sea. When it was all over I returned to my shop. That wasthe last official day of the Vietnam War and I was now a Vietnam vet and havethe medals to prove it! When people ask me about how it was in Vietnam I tellthem I don't like to talk about it and now you know why.
