It's sooo much better than the best torch I tried before it.

This guy's site is well worth a browse around..

That's some coincidence. I was just at this
guy's site 10 minutes ago. I need a new set
of hoses for my Victor J-27 miniature torch
and his site was one of 2 or three that got a
google hit.

Now I'm sorely tempted to just buy the Meco
package.


They're very good and I follow his advice about making intermediate sized
by geting two, say #1 tips and drilling one out slightly to have something
between 1 and 2.

The Meco never ever pops. It's as light as a feather so it's like using a
pen. On the minus side your hand isn't too far from the fire so it gets hot
in there and also the tips are a little fat so getting in cose to a tight
spot is a little tough, bu it's not a huge problem.

I went ahead and bought the Meco, along
with 00, 0, 1 (included) and 2 tips and
the lightweight hose. The hose will work
with the Victor, but I have a feeling I'll
be retiring it after I use the Meco. I
like your idea of making a #1.5 tip.

You might try a pair of TIG gloves for the
heat. Very comfortable and thin. I bought
a pair from Indiana Oxygen. They have the
best prices and service I've found anywhere
for generic welding supplies.

Yeah, but haven't done too much lately. The airplane is pretty well on
now, but the arrival of the other aiplane has help up interest!
Maybe I missed this: what are you building? What have you got?


Building a Hatz, got a KCAB

Got any pictures on the web of the Hatz?

Oh OK, I've been using the usual big leather ones. I didn't know the tig
ones even existed. I'll get a pair next tim eI'm in the shop.

No, and my workshop is too messy to take pics of it!

What were they made of, goatskin, synthetic, or what?

Yeah that´s the hatz club´s site. Very good club!

There´s loads of them flying. IIt´s a good first timer´s airplane and
the completion rate is good. So´s it´s record in every regard. it´s
aerobatric capability is limited, though. It´ll do loops, barrel rolls
spins etc, about as good as a citabria or clipped cub. plenty strong
and it´s draggy so if you screw up and end up pointed straight down
you won´t end up going too fast.
Easiest taildragger i ever flew, with the possible exception of the
Aeronca 15
