................. I think it is more the Indian than the Arrow. Try and find what works best for you. I have all the trick gas welding supplies and still do better with the TIG............. Doug Odom in big ditch
Great advice. I'm just getting the hang of the tig, so I'm going to stick with it unless I end up having real problems.

I learnt to Tig , so I could do the body on our tank.........thinking it would be a whole lot better. The few remnants of sanity I had went and hid. After years of welding filthy ,feeble steel on old car panels with the Mig the one talent I did have was managing heat in thin plate....after having a bash ( excuse me) with a Mig set up for Al I decided to go and get all the necessarys to set my welder up for aluminium. The one huge advantage of the Mig is it can fill gaps, if you have a blow out( and welding a fifty year old al wing-tank there's a good chance there will be some) it is possible to fight your way back, if you're using the Tig you need to stitch something in to fill any sort of sizeable gap.
The other plus is the expendables( tips, etc) are cheaper for the Mig....and manifold building is a breeze with the Mig...I wouldn't stake my life on the strength of these welds but for the stuff I've mentioned it really ain't critical .
