The rig I used was a hybred: hoses and regs were HF, torch was Lincoln.
Which begs the question: is an HF torch worth the $100? Or should I
keep saving my pennies? What size tanks would you recommend?

I'm looking at .120" to 1/4" mild steel for a trailer, and from
1/2"x.030" to 2 -1/2"x.095" 4130 tube for a plane or other projects. Do
you think the included tip sizes would handle that range? Can Lincoln
or Harris tips be used on an HF torch body?

Best get an answer from someone else. I'm a woodworker, that welds when there
is no choice. g Then, my favorite weapon is a wire welder. I do know how to
gas weld, but I would need considerable practice to get to aircraft grade welds.
