Hi!
I might like to build from plans a tube and fabric airplane. I have never welded and have spent an hour reading about this. It sounds like using gas would be the easiest to learn and the cheapest, while making suitable welds. When the time comes, I could enroll in a community college class and/or an EAA sport workshop to get some hands on instruction.
Is gas welding easy enough to learn, such that within a few or several hours I would be able to weld 4130 tubing for the airframe and engine mount? Is it also fairly easy to visually inspect my welds?
Thanks,
Dan
