Just got off the phone with Dillsburg. He said allhis 4130 tubing is Chinese. He said, "there is no steel made in the USA." Probably mostly true. But hey, ya' got Chinese tools so you may as well get Chinese material to work on... right?
Well..., no, not quite.
I thanked the man but told him maybe I'd just build a wooden airplane.
I was getting pissed so called ACS and got this email about their 4130 tubing:
