I am preparing to build an airframe. Is anyone familiar with the Chinese sourced 4130 that Wicks sells? Any feedback on quality from personal experience?
I was wondering how you knew it was Chinese, but kudos to Wick's for putting it right there that it is.
They say that they have American & German steel, too.
I agree that Chinese steel would concern me and I don't know how you would tell it apart w/o structural testing.
Aircraft Spruce ?
Thanks guys. I know wag aero sells tube kits for aircrafts. They claim to be American 4130N. I plan on building a tractor AutoGyro with side by side seating. I want the fuselage to be very light and streamlined. Safety is a big thing to me.
