ed there is an article on wikipedia about it  lol , i just got the link 
wrong as usual ( i aint the brightest bulb in the pack )
as for chrome moly tubing , when i built my drag truck the factor that 
convinced me to not use it is the fact that welds need to be stress relieved 
( usually ) and i aint that smart . for the average builder it is prudent to 
just use mild steel as the weight savings from using the thinner chrome moly 
is not that great .
if i were to build an aircraft ( which i aint ) then i would probably learn 
how to use the lighter chrome moly tubing .
i dont think the weight savings is THAT big an advantage in a lsr vehicle , 
weight is king in a drag car !

don t.
