facthunter Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I see you mention replating frequently. Don't forget Hydrogen embrittlement is dangerous. requires heat treatment immediately after plating. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have irons in the fire at the moment re purchase of a homebrew biplane out of the US (nothing so auspicious as a DH.82 though). The nation can blame the current crappy state of the Aust dollar on my making a significant purchase overseas - it seems to happen every time! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevdoncarder Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Yes, I have been eyeing off some of the bargain prices which items can be obtained for in the US in comparison to Oz. Are you looking at importing a Kit or an previously owned homebuilt? I was interested in a J3 cub at one stage but found the whole importing process too intimidating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
