First, I want say how impressed I am with the PA-18 airframe pieces I ordered from VR3 in Canada. The customer service was awesome, the quality top notch (pun intended), the price great, and it was only a couple of weeks from order to delivery. I’d do business with them again in a heartbeat.
I‘m preparing to start welding my airframe together within the next couple of weeks. For those with experience doing this, how do you recommend setting up the jigging and sequence of welding. If I had to do it now I would start from the pieces under the pilot‘s seat and work out and up from there. Basically using the logic of starting from a good foundation. However, I‘d like to avoid painting myself into a corner.
What do you recommend? Is there a best practice?
