I would suggest:
http://www.weldingtipsandtricks.com/index.html
Look under "TIG" welding section and "Welding 4130" section.
There is a lot of info here. A bit of advertising and products too.

Excellent advice there Mr. Cowan. I have been doing farm welding for 40 plus years.
I would not weld anything and then get into it and fly.
With that said , do kit type planes such as a Kolb require welding by the purchaser
of such kits?

no and yes.. if you build to plans and need no modifications to meet
your special needs,, the answer is no. as for my mkiii,,, i used
different seats, and had to weld in some brackets to hold my seats, if you
dont know how or are not comfortable welding,,,, find a good welder and
pay him for the work you need... make sure he knows it is on thin wall
tubing, and make sure he is comfortable, if not find someone different. i
just went over 700 hours and all is well.

A big thanks to all the welding gurus. I appreciate every single post; all
the pics and videos and answers. Fascinating stuff.
I decided on the Victor Firepower Oxy/Acetylene kit and placed my order fro
m WeldingSupply.com at what I believe are great prices (after much web surf
ing):
https://weldingsupply.securesites.com/cgi-bin/browsecatalogs.pl
0384-2551 - FirePower Heavy/Medium Duty $149.38
WES317 - 520 tank to 510 reg $9.99
WES324 - 200 tank to 510 reg $9.99
WES61 - 300 tank to 510 reg $4.95
This will allow hooking up the CGA-510 reg to most of the various Acetylene
tanks available. Now I just need to find tanks to rent in my area.

For aircraft use you want a lightweight set. I have been using the same
old Smith aircraft set for over 35 years.
I do use industrial, large size regulators though.

FYI....
I bought this mig welder from Harbor Freight this summer on sale for $179.00....the
stand was $49.00 ...This welder welds beautiful ! You won't find anything
this nice for this kind of money...tank and gages are extra...
Welds with gas or with the flux core wire....just change wire and power leads....I
did add a 25' cord too....
just something to consider....

| Subject: | Muffler & Header paint |
Kolbers:
Looking through the archives for clues about what folks are using on their
mufflers/headers for the Rotax
2-strokes, there seems to be a split between the ceramic coating camp and
those who sand-blast
and repaint every couple of years.
Have decided I will do the latter (again), but would like to get a better
paint than I was able to find for
the previous two cycles.. Both were rattle-can "hi-temp header"
concoctions from auto parts stores. Neither
lasted very long on the Rotax muffler/header.
Has anyone come across a decent hi-temp paint that will stay on these parts
long enough to be worth putting on them?
Would prefer quart cans, but will do spray cans if necessary.
Thankee fer yer time.

- Chris- Nice knowing that brand does work.- A couple of friends- years
ago- bought the cheap Chinese angle grinders.- They got 10 minutes out o
f them, never to run again.- I have the Harbor Freight electronic helmet.
- Utterly reliable, and $39 on sale.- The electronic helmet is great fo
r MIG work. -With the Chinese stuff, I guess you have to spec it out exac
tly for them to make it.- otherwise, it will just look like the tool and
not work like it.

I used the Hi temp stove flat black paint. I think the key is stove not
header. I believe that it is supposed to be good to 13 to 1400 degrees.
Of course one must allow windage for elderly memory of a 100 or so
degrees. I put it on my HKS muffler 135 hours ago and I do not see any
problems as yet. My EGTS are best at 1330 degrees. Its cheap enough to
do every year.

Well I don't know what you mean still . The Kolbra is one well thought of machine.
I have so many folks wanting to build the Kolbra 2 place aircraft.
Almost all of the Kolbras have won Grand Champion awards at Oshkosh.
To each his own I guess. I sure have never been told the Kolbra looks cobbled

Well I sure don't either.
All I know is the Kolbra serves as a 2 place trainer that is well thought of
all around the world. The Kolbra helps us to stay alive and be there for everyone
when we are needed.
I sure respect your opinion and every one else.
Please just get that Fire Fly in the Air.

I second that I typed in his airport name into Google and realized that its another
place too far away from Arizona.
Seems like all the action is out on the east coast or thereabout's give or take
a few Longitudes.
Gotta get to Florida seems like there is a lot of flying fun in that part of the
world. Are there any Kolbers around the Miami area give or take some miles?

Hey Pat does your wife have a sister? I may be interested in taking her off your
hands if she hangs around your house and on your dime (quids), hard to find
good broads in Arizona you know.

Not only that. I make a point not to deprive her of scrubbing the floors, cleaning
the windows or carrying the logs in (and chopping them)

Has anyone come across a decent hi-temp paint that will stay on these

Would prefer quart cans, but will do spray cans if necessary.

Bro. Beauford,
The best I have found is VHT very high temperature Flame Proof
Header paint 1300*---- 2000*. Just have to look through the local auto supply
stores til you find it.
