John, Yes, all that I have read and seen about gas welding aluminum indicates that finessing the flame is key.  The only way to learn it is by doing and getting the feel.  I look forward to the challenge. Craig www.kr2seafury.com --- On Tue, 11/2/10, John Caudle wrote:

Be nice to get to miami with fuel to spare which is 500 miles. I agree on flying, right now the plane needs some fixing but I don't want to do anything major to it right now, all the insides were taken out, so I have to rewire the pannel as well as put everything back inside and bolt on the motor

Tig is nice but the equipment to do it is expensive so I would have to pay to all my parts made.  With gas I have all the equipment and as I build I can make changes or totally redesign a part as necessary.  --- On Tue, 11/2/10, Robert Wood wrote: From: Robert Wood
