Fantastic videos!!! I really enjoy seeing how you do this. I have seen your backyard flyer at Oshkosh and it's performance is impressive. Keep the videos coming! Thanks!
what do you think of these new low temp rods advertised on FB for brazing all attaching rods and aluminum? I can refer you to the site if you need. I think the name is simple rod
Yes. And that is exactly what you want: A ductile connection point. Tubes fail in compression. The center of the tube, which is the failure point, is still at full tensile strength.
The material will crack, and break beside the welding seam. That's why they still use the rivet. And it won't break on the ground, but in the air. Take it serious! I wouldn't fly with this, To make a wing this way is a fatal error!
