I've got mine fabricated and am ready to start, but have never tigged aluminum and though I've read, thought I'd see if anybody had first hand experience and suggestions to share, thanks, Douwe ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 03:50:02 PM PST US From: "w b evans" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: tig welding aluminum --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "w b evans" Douwe, I put in a 14 gal nose tank and the original 10 gal wing tank. Made up patterns for both tanks, and fastened them together so I could TIG them. Had the head motor winder at our place show me how to TIG. Figured,,,It was easy. TIGed all the seams and got them home to check in case I had a leak or two. Well a watering can didn't have as many leaks. finally Asked a friend of mine who had built quite a few planes to TIG them. Believe me,,,there is no substitute for experience!! Checked them for leaks , and of course there were none. Now they are one of the trouble free systems on my flying 1929 Pietenpol Aircamper. walt evans NX140DL ps. got pics if you want ----- Original Message ----- From: "Douwe Blumberg" Subject: Pietenpol-List: tig welding aluminum > --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Douwe Blumberg" > > Anybody out there have experience tig welding aluminum sheet for fuel tanks?

I have a drawing from Bill Rewey. Is this the same design you refer, and where did you find the springs? ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 07:19:16 PM PST US From: Gnwac@cs.com Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Springs and landing gear --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Gnwac@cs.com Thanks for the spring address. Are you using Bill Rewey's design or another? Greg
