Fuselage Frame Material

Postby jja66uk » Tue Sep 19, 2017 3:51 pm

Hello

Does anybody know what the fuselage frame of the Mk2 Nipper is made from? I'm sourcing materials to do the seat modification and the old mods refer to both T45 steel and 4130N.

Thanks

John

Hello,
I have Avions Fairy assembly drawing of the MK II fuselage drawing A T66F1085 which lists all the tubes used in the construction as SE 4130-MIL T6730 A. I believe that all Slingsby manufactured fuselages were made using T45 but that is only from memory.

Regards, G-ARBG
