You can use flux cored wire on any machine that is wired fed. IMO you need to use gas on any wire that you put down. The overall quality will be better when using shielding gas, even with flux cored wire. A 110V machine will only weld 1/4" thick material max, so also keep this in mind.

I hate flux. I can't agree with you more on the shielding gas setup. Not sure if the OP wants to get the whole tank setup and everything though. The Dad might get frustrated with the spatter and trash that the flux spits out though.
