Hi Al,

I agree, but don't have much experience with these kinds of metal and how much they weigh.  I suspected that if I asked about the high side, someone would reply that I didn't need that much and make a good recommendation.  I do greatly appreciate the insight :-)

Best regards,
Chris

with, and I found some notes about using SS handrail tubing,

sufficient thickness (presuming 304SS or similar)?  Thicker?  Thinner?

Chris;

You're building an airplane.  Weight matters.  .035 inconel is good.
