• 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.

MoreTIG questions:


I had some issues duringmy TIG class figuring out where to rest my hands when welding around a cluster. Also, the cluster tended to get somewhat hot, and uncomfortable to rest on. What's the secret to this?


Additionally, how far around a tube does one typically weld before stopping and repositioning one's hands? I figure that about an eighth of the way around may be about it. Is that right, considering that the torch needs to be moved and rotated about the tube?
