Spent 30 minutes at pool yesterday discussing with professional
metalworkers best way to weld a complex joint for important element of

Such things take time, and still, I do not know if it will work.

to which I would point out that in 2008 most engineers when
considering structures operating at general aviation speeds and
stresses would be thinking of composites and molding complex shapes,
not in terms of bending metal and welded joining.

This presumes that you know what the welds are for, which would be
difficult, as the welders themselves do not even know at this point.

I would point out

1 there are few structural elements of G A airplanes that cannot be
done very effectively in composites, aned complex shapes lend
themselves to molds, not welds

2 if you were seeking advice without disclosing to those whose advice
you were seeking the parameters of concern, you have shown yourself to
be not very competent as an engineer.

I'm glad you don't work for my husband, but you'd have to be an
excellent fraud to survive in our real world for very long. If you
demonstrate those shortcomings so clearly here I would worry about
your career choice. I know it's your choice and decision, but I hope
you're in a position where mistakes will likely not cause great harm.

Good luck in any event.
