>Aircraft quality hinge pin wire is a hard drawn AISI 302 wire with a
>about 1300 N/mm=B2 which is over 3 times the strength of stainless welding
wire!!
>I am sure that we all noticed how hard it is when we tried to cut it.
>Also the reduction of the diameter from 2,4 to 1,6 mm is a reduction of
>section of approx a half!
>Is the remaining strength enough for having some aerobatic fun? I have no
>but I will not be experimenting with this mod using welding wire.
