Thanks both of you. I "need" :) the welder to continue with my airplane
project,

Then if you are asking the advice you have, I would seriously suggest
learning from a class, or someone who has built a lot of planes
(successfuly flown of course! G), and practice after that.

so I'll be using it to weld flight control components from 4130
tube and sheet. Pretty light-duty stuff, mostly. I do foresee the need to
weld aluminum in the future, though.

Good light duty welds are harder than heavier ones. You are often
working right on burn-through to get a good weld.
