Meco Midget Torch

We started in on tac welding the fuse frame side and ran into problems with our torch. It was doing a lot of popping. This gave me an excuse for buying this neat little torch from TM Tech. I bought the kit that came with the video of Earl & Kent White welding a 4130 fuse and parts. I have watched about half of the video so far. It has some good info. I would recomend it.

Front spar opening

If you look at the front spar plug you will see that this will not work. There is no room for glue in the joint. I figured this out as I was putting the test rib together. I will later remove some material in the corners so that the rib will not glue itself to the jig.

Starting of a Rib Jig

What is this!

This will be part of the jig. Since the hole is of center it works like a cam lock. I will screw these down close to the center line and then just rotate it until an edge is on the line. You will see.
