Hey Guys, Before you trash your MIG for a new TIG unit you might try using it to weld aluminum. You must use 100% argon as the shielding gas.  Keep your torch as straight as possible and let 'er' rip... Just an idea...  J.E. Caudle Fenwick, WV 363TB (On the Bench)

Hi Marlyn, I think you have that backwards.  A/C is used for aluminum. J.E. Caudle Fenwick, WV 363TB (On the Bench) <> I researched this welder and discovered that it is AC only (DC sine wave is required for welding Aluminum)that is why they say "(not suitable for aluminum)" <>

Hi Steve, I had a HF MIG and thought it worked great.  I upgraded to a Hobart and then realized the HF MIG was not as good as I had thought. You get what you pay for.  Sometimes that's good enough.  HF is pretty good about taking things back that don't work as advertised.    J.E. Caudle Fenwick

Hi Jose,  Maybe you should work on an ejection seat/system first. The USAF killed a few pilots before they got the FBW working on the F-16.  Good luck with the project!  I hope you get it working with out it killing you in the process! Gods Speed, J.E. Caudle Fenwick, WV 363TB (On the Bench)

2010-11-02 Thread John Caudle
Hi Craig, Welding aluminum with gas is about the same as using a TIG. With gas you will also need flux. Aluminum welding takes lots of practice.  I would suggest you pickup some stock that is thinner than what you will be using to build the tank and practice. Heat control is the road to success.

Hi Dan, The aircraft you mentioned, with out modification, have always fit the "LSA" rule.  The Cessna 150 fits the LSA rule save the gross weight.  Because of that it will never be an LSA ruled aircraft.  Even if you put it on a diet.  You can only be a virgin once... Gods Speed, J.E. Caudle
