About sixty 3/32 and thirty 1/8.

Don't forget the dies.

I'd recommend going through the Emp plans and literally writing out exactly what tools you will need. There are a few drill bits that are required but not included in the Cleaveland kit (12" #30, 12"#40, a #12 possibly).

There is at least one tool you'll need on the first page of the emp instructions that are somehow not in the "get me started" toolkit from Cleaveland. I just can't remember off the top of my head.

I understand the number 12, but are the extensions used in the tail?

Thanks,

I haven't used the 12" #40 so far. There is a place where you need to use either an angle drill (which I did) or a long #30: Drilling the HS main ribs to the forward spar and the reinforcement angles.
