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..


Welding Al is indeed much harder to master than welding steel. The melting
point of the filler and the melting point of the filler is the same, or very
close to it. Get it got enough to flow the puddle, and if you are just a
little too hot, it blows through.

And of course, a tank has to be perfect to not leak. Many pros still get a
few leaks. Make sure that whoever does the welding does a pressure test,
before any gas goes in it.
