As for engines I think I have 6 engines either converted or in the process and Im just about to start building a plane for one of them. :stupid: I get a kick out of doing the conversions for sure.


I dont think I will be "engine poor" again

Doug; As for the Tig welder I use a Lincoln 175 Square wave setup. Its pretty compact and does a great job. I think any of the name brand machines out there are very nice.

The best advice for any weldor is to practice, and practice a lot. Get scraps of whatever you are going to weld and start running beads. If I havent welded in a while I will run a few practice beads on some scrap before starting.

Also welding with a Oxy acetelene setup is great practice for Tig. and If you can find a welding class at a vocational school or something take it.
