Thanks, I appreciate a lot your videos, mostly when you talk about welding those frightening thin wall tubes (.032"). Because I have to redo my tail feathers on my Aeronca Champion and right now, I'm practicing to weld on Chromoly samples I've bought from Aircraft Spruce. Exactly the same material I need for the entire tail. Tubes, flat bars for channels, heavy small tubes for hinges. Exactly like yours! Please, I have a question! The welds on my Champion tail feathers are kind of large! I guess they were done on gas torch! When I weld with my Tig torch, the weld is much thinner, less larger and more surgical! On your video, I see that your welds on your hinge tubes are kind of large! Is that multiple passes or one pass with some side to side wiggling or walking the cup! Thanks a lot and keep going with your project
One pass. The filler wire is why it’s thick, if you have two materials of different thickness you take the larger thickness and match the filler wire to that. Make sense?
Appreciate your work. Short, concise and on target. No fluff.
Wow that’s a different way of doing that ,,,never saw it before I’m going have to give it a try
Brilliant!!!

@@michaeljohnson2922 Ho thanks a lot
What are you using for tail wheel spring?
Just a home built spring from the Aircraft Spruce catalog
Did you ever finish this?
Still working on it.
Excellent. I just bought a Junior Ace project
