Plenty of commerce in USA , so why cant i spend

some bucks and get some aluminum shipped ?

I've got many practical designs for airplane .

i'll probably go for a single 75" four blade prop and

3 wings , that fold fwd . Frame cant be riveted aluminum

for the stress points . such as landing gear . too much

weight , to spread out into an alum frame .

brazed bicycle method can take a 10,000 jolt on

landing . Alum cant .

cycling steel back and forth , but less than 44,000 psi

it will never fail . Alum will fail , at any small lload .

That stress maybe 122 million cycles , but it will fail .

Steel wont . Even 87,000 psi UTS tubing , cycled at

30,000 psi , will NEVER fail . Alum will !

Old steel framed bicycles were lighter and stronger

than todays alum frames .



Longevity-inc is on the skids , they pay the companies

owners $4000 net , a year .

their welders dont weld .

10 to 1, a buffalo nickel says it will never happen.
This guy doesn't have it in him to build and fly an airplane.

I don't want to be anywhere near his first test flight.
