Hi gang,

Has anybody priced out the cost of raw materials (4130 tubing) for a Pitts fuselage lately? One of my chapter members has a tig rig and I'm getting anxious to start welding an airplane together! (We have lots of other necessary tools, I assure you).

Given that I have yet to strike it lucky in terms of employment, and the fact that I owe Uncle Sam $16,000 for my collegiate papers, I need to build from scratch if I'm going to build at all.

thoughts/input? Thanks, all!
