I was using 3/32 filler for everything. I had the output set at 140 amps, and the AC balance set slightly more to the penetration side. I was also using a 3/32 tungsten as well. I was getting good penetration, and the width of the weld seemed good, but I could only go about 2" on the butt weld and about 3" on the lap. I held the filler rod so that there was maybe 8" exposed. The instructor held the filler rod much further back. I tried that, but I didn't feel like I had enough control over it. That will probably take more practice.
