Grounded - Where to get rid of the Building Materials?

Hi Folks:

The FAA made it official, and I appealed all the way, but the heart
monitor put the stake in the plans I made. I am grounded. I was going
to build a Renegade, Charlie Lasher's Formula V from the 80's.

So, I have to forget building the plane. I have $300.00 of Wicks
chrome-moly 4130 in 6' lengths, of 4 different diameters. Where can I
get this stuff sold?

And I have the plans, if anyone is interested.

I would help if you posted your location. Odds are some one local would
want to get it less shipping.

Can't you return it to wicks for a restocking fee?

Yes, that is an option. I will call them and check it out.

Anthony:

Yep, you are correct sir. I am in the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti, Michigan
area. So that would help a bit.

The chrome-moly is .030 wall in 3/4, 5/8, 1/2 and 3/8 and maybe 1/4.
I will measure get the steel out and measure the diameters again to be
sure.

Stealth Pilot:

You are showing your usual demeanor I see.

Well, bummer, Rocketeer. But you pushed it to the limit, and that commands
a lot of respect. Most people hang it up long before they're told to, timid
and hesitant and halting. Take your spirit and apply it to something new
and challenging. Maybe build a sailboat and take it offshore....

Cheers, and thanks for a great example,

have you ever thought that posting the details here might just have
the solution you seek?

$300 of 4130 in 6ft lengths. that is a dumb post really.
what diameters? what number of lengths? what price?
what wall thicknesses? any corrosion?
and as the other chap posted, where in the world are you?

Stealth Pilot - Trying to make new friends, are we? You're in Australia,
right? If Rocketeer ordered from Wicks, I'd bet the tubing is somewhere in
North America. Are you really interested in it, considering the likely
expense to get it to you? If you are interested, why the attitude? If
you're not interested, why comment at all?

Perhaps he was saying what everyone else was too shy to post?

All he said really NEEDED to be said, if someone were to going to have an
interest in it.

Folks, I have received an email already, so, all I needed to do was
mention it. Those that want can email me. I said all I needed to say,
despite Steath Pilot's assertions.
