I am thinking about buying some 6AL-4V titanium round bars in 1"1/2 diameter from Titanium Joe and get them machined to the correct shape for my Pitts S1 landing gear.I wish to do the same for the tail wheel rod and the drag wires.For all that,the cost is very good,even with shipping and custom taxes and cheaper than the aluminum Grove gear to get it here in Europe
Those bars are in the annealed condition;So the big question is,do the gear and rod legs have to receive a heat treatment after maching ?!!!
