Marv:
    Are there any materials experts out there that can comment on heating
aluminum.  I'd like to powder coat some of the landing gear parts and some
other metal bits & pieces in my LNC2.  To do this the coating has to be
baked at 400 degrees F. for 20 minutes.  If I do this will that change the
strength properties of the aluminum parts?

Best regards to the forum, Pete
