• 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.

I just purchased a used MIG welder that can use fluxed core or shielding gas for welding. I'm wondering if this can be used on my Skybolt build for any parts. Can I achieve enough control with it? Not having welded before I don't have a good feel for what's possible. I'll be taking a welding class at the local high school this fall to start getting my feet wet.

I got a great deal on the welder so I don't think it would have been much money wasted.

The welder is a Power Mig Astro Power 130. See attached picture.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Russ
