Hi folks:

Anybody here with experience using aluminum tube strap ultralight design/construction techniques as in the green eagle ppg (http://www.greeneagleppg.com/models/)? I'm hoping to use similar techniques with a powered parachute frame I've developing and would appreciate pointers as I progress.

My first question would be about the material for the strap (the tubing is 6061). How is it formed and can it be done with hand tools?

Thanks, Michael
