Seems as if I remember about 65 or 70 years ago another eastern country was
buying a lot of our scrap steel--we were getting a lot of stamped sheet-metal toys in return---then the toys got bigger and went BOOM !! "Rich S." wrote: "Richard Lamb" wrote in message ... B2431 wrote: Ya'll joke about it all you want. But it ain't very funny. I agree, which is why I raised the subject. Out in my shop, I have a small piece of .125" 4130. It used to be larger, but I have been giving away pieces of it to aircraft builders who haven't been able to find any. The mention of "Homebuilt helicopter kits" was referring to the rumors hereabout of a certain unnamed helicopter kit purveyor said to be operating in Communist China. Rich S.
