Hi all,
I am about to start a project to build my own aircraft. The fuselage frame will be welded 4130 chrome moly tubing.
I have never welded before other than a play with a MIG welder a few years ago and I need to go from total beginner to CAA approved welder before I can begin.
I am in Kent and have looked at courses but the ones near me tend to cover all fabrication and welding and go on for months. I was looking for something a bit quicker and teach myself if possible using this site and you tube etc.
What would be a good welder for me that would let me learn but also be capable of welding the full frame? Without breaking the bank as I have lots of tooling to buy. Also it would need to be able to plug into the mains.
Regards
