with about 110 hrs on this mount & nosegear, the powdercoat has started flaking off some of the welds.
After chipping away the loose stuff, the welds and metal beneath look ok to my eye....should I be looking deeper at this?
I expected nicer looking tubing, this appears kind of rough around the weld, but perhaps that's normal, depending on the prep prior to coating.
No obvious tell-tale cracking at any of the joints or other welds, just this flaking......does this indicate movement?
(sorry for the big pics, photobucket didn't seem to want to resize right!)
