Hello all,

First off there is alot of information on this site and I would like to thank all those who contribute to the posts.

I am interested in building an all metal plane. I am curious about the outer skin I am a TIG welder by trade and I have access to everything related to TIG welding this is why I have chosen to go the all metal route. I was thinking of welding all of the outer skins instead of using rivets. Is this acceptable or is there some reason as to not weld the outer skin ? Any feedback on this matter is appreciated.
