Three EAA Technical Counselors (over 60 total years' experience) show you the procedures necessary to
construct a complete airframe from plans.
Table jig construction, measuring, cutting, fitting, bending, tacking, and gas welding are shown in detail,
along with the countless do's and don'ts which are only discovered by not only building many aircraft
for oneself, but also helping others to do the same.
Small, medium, and large parts are shown and demonstrated in detail. See the reconstruction efforts on a
wrecked Stinson Gullwing, and the methods used to insure its value.

"A few weekends ago while at the GoldenWest Air show I was able to pick up Kent White's video on 4130
Airframe construction. Being a welder of 30+ years I was impressed with the content and
presentation, about 4 1/2 hours worth." Doug Knight
metalfab@pacbell.net
"I just finished watching the 4130 video series for the fifth time. Superb is all I can say.
Each time I learn something new, and will probably wear out the tapes before I have grasped even
half of the information contained on them." Thanks,
Michael DeBoerSap - Georgetown Ontario

What are the 11 most-asked questions at Oshkosh Welding Workshops? Controversy of TIG vs. MIG vs. torch. Do
gas welds really hold up in a hard crash? Preheating and postheating. Filler rod? Distortion? You will
learn the traditional standards, the history, and what is appropriate for building and repairing
aircraft 4130. This is a very detailed "workshop" program.
NOTE: As you will find in other TM Technologies' instructional tapes, all important welding sequences here
are filmed both close-up and through the Special Welding Lens for very clear instruction of the welding
method.

I can't personally comment on the Meco torch because after welding the tail feathers with a Henrob torch I
bought a TIG machine and never looked back. Anyone want a Henrob 2000 for a real good price?
I purchased Kent's 4130 tapes at the same time I started the project and found them to be absolutely loaded
with good advise.
They cover so much more than just welding. You get good advise on how precise you need to be in measurements
( less than you might think, the steel is going to move on you anyways), how to make simple jigs, and
general philosophy of building a fuselage frame.
I really can't say enough good things about the tapes, I have watched the whole 4 hours 3 times.
