Sometimes welding should be left to those more skilled in its practice. I don’t think I would trust this repair that was made to the rudder pedal bars in an RV.
In Case You Missed It
RANS S-19
When new aircraft from two very different designers, in this case Randy Schlitter and Richard VanGrunsven, surface with considerable similarities, consensus about basic design tenets must be blowing in the wind. Certainly Light Sport regs do constrain performance considerations, but human factors are more up for grabs, and thats where one or another design can truly shine; by Marc Cook.
“Booger weld”…
I would grind it down and break the plate off and reweld with a new bead. That looks like spot gas welding with a coat hanger. I would accept a brazing job on that but a good weld is preferred
Must have held the welding rod in his nostrils and the welder between his toes. Nice!
Its Mig welded very cold
I cannot believe that even the most inexperienced builder could not recognise a dangerous weld when they see one.
Here a weld like that is known as “Spoggy Shit” (Spoggy – a small Australian bird)
I agree with Bruce. Grind it all off and get an experienced welder to reweld it.
Grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain’t….. lucky they didn’t try to ‘pretty up’ this mess with Bondo
My daddy says if you gotta grind every weld to make it look right., your not a welder your a grinder😂
