• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Looking for some input from you guys. What are the cons of putting the same wire I'm using for TIG into my MIG welder and use it to weld in non-structural parts such as tabs and brackets. This process is alot quicker and easier for installing these items but I've never heard talk about it. I've talked to various welding gurus that I know that have said it is every bit as strong and they don't know why I am not doing it now. The only down side they say is that a MIG welder will hide imperfections in the weld that the TIG process wont, that why I dont think I would use it for main structure items. What say you all.

Nick
