     I'd like to powder coat some of the landing gear parts and some
other metal bits & pieces in my LNC2....    If I do this will that change
the
strength properties of the aluminum parts?


Damn Pete,  now you've made me nervous. I had my engine mount powder coated.
Powder coating gives it a super look and is very tough as far as resistance
to scratching etc.  So far it hasn't bent, stretched, cracked or broken with
about 35 hours use. I too would be interested in hearing from anyone with
expertise in this area.
