do you need too have any qaulifications to weld that together your self?

Thats a good question... I assume just getting an engineer to check the welds is good enough? Did you weld yours Josh?

Nooo, he didn't... :wink:

I welded mine and then couriered it off to Seattle where Boeing put it in their massive XRay machine to check for fissures and cracks in the weld. Came back OK. :wink:

Minstar,

I had to send mine to Seattle as well.

Came back OK but the freight almost killed me. :wink:

Cheers,
Tricky

Yeah sorry my usual disposition is to be sarcastic, but I try and limit it in my posts. Plus you think the least Boeing could do is send it back for free...

Cheers
