|  Everyone seems to be a master welder or styrene modeler, I want in
Any good starting points? School? Books? I know styrene work can be self taught but what about welding on the scale required for our RC cars?.

I use MAPP gas and silver solder 56. Brazing is pretty darn easy to do. After your first solid joint you are a pro. Check this out Brazing Video |
