Default RE: My 1`st Scratch Built Airboat,,EVER !!

.I think that`s it for now..

..I will have to Mention some Metalurgy later on, in Regards to Annealing and Quenching. The thin Wall Square Tubing,I think it`s K&S made, has gone from Soft, to near Dead soft(softer), from my Welding/Brazing Temperatures.I`ll have to do a bit of heat treating to Boot up the Temper again, to at least where it was before I got working on this Rudder mounting System.... If I think of any more tips for making an Aluminum joint with a single Gas Torch..I`ll add them, as I go along later..So ,That`s it for now...

..I`ve got to Try and Entertain my Nephew for a while, and it`s pretty cold outside, so, I think the Vortex will stay on its` Boat stand today..Have a good Day.[8D].Dave
