Greetings,
As I ponder my choices for
mounting the single rotor engine, I noticed something that surprised me.
304 stainless is cheaper than 4130 steel. One thing that's always bothered
me about steel tube type construction is the concern for rusting inside the
tubes, so stainless is appealing. There must be a catch here.
Is there a good reason I
should use 4130 instead of 304? Either will likely be sized much larger
than needed, since I don't have the means to do any proper analysis of the
strength.
Thanks,
Rusty (Autoflight drive
supposed to be shipping next week)
