Professonally welded fuselages?
« on: September 20, 2023, 04:21:16 PM »
Greetings,

I believe John Bolding used to sell material kits, and welded fuselages.  I'm assuming those welded fuselages are considered safe?  Did he put any markings on the frame, like his initial stamped in it, or maybe a SN?  Did anyone else offer professionally welded fuselages?  I guess I'm wondering if I'd be able to tell who welded the frame if I look at a project that passed through a couple people already. 

I know there's a project that isn't too far from me, but he doesn't know who welded it.  It's also a bit overpriced in my mind. 

Thanks,
Rusty

The best way to learn about John Bolding's fuselages, other than contacting him directly, is to ask Leonard Milholland. I've only seen one of John's fuselages. It has about 200 flight hours on it and still looks as good as new. If you can get on the Legal Eagle Facebook page, both John and Leonard respond to questions from time to time.
