Spent 30 minutes at pool yesterday discussing with professional

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.

And neither do you.
