This is kind of an odd question, but I figure why not recycle? I want to start building and I'm leaning towards a wood single-seater, but of course there is always some metal even an all wood airplane. For the small bits of tube I'll need for control parts and the like, can I source them from the fuselages of written off certified airplanes? For example, if I have a line on a Champ fuselage that was crushed in a hangar collapse but still has a foot or two of straight tubing here and there, is there a compelling reason not to go with it?
