Yes, you would wrap the sheet to form the overall tank shape, weld
in a baffle or three working from the open ends and then weld on the
ends to close things up.

'Kay. makes sense. Al I have to do now is learn to weld aluminum!

Or, you can drill holes in the outer skin where the baffle flanges are
located and then weld them from the outside. It's a lot easier than
trying to get a stinger in the tank.

Learn how to weld Aluminum? After a couple thousand in dedicated
equipment, and a hundred hours of practice, you'll certainly be
qualified. It's a little easier than turning crankshafts, I suppose.
If it was me, I'd spend my time doing fun things and leave the 20
minutes of welding to the pros.


Mmm, maybe. Plan was to borow my buddie's TIG, though! I do know someone
who can do it for me, alright. On the other hand, ACS have atank for this
airplane.
By the way, I'm hurt! I learned to weld steel and it only took me a few
months! And it was fun, too..
