Default gift ideas
Yeah - for me!
I am finishing the wings and have the QB fuse in the shop. Any ideas for tools / parts / etc that are coming up that I could add to the Christmas list? I'm having trouble thinking of things except for the obvious engine / prop / avionics (unfortunately Bill Gates is not in my family so those are out!). What kind of things will I need while finishing up the fuse, etc?

Thomas

Greenlee hole punch for your avionics. I think you can use them for firewall penetration as well.

Default Think small
I like to put cheap stuff on my wish list, so I asked for drill bits (you can't have enough #30's and #40's), extra cleco pliers (one is not enough), deburring tools, ScotchBrite pads, etc.

One of these days, I'll put in an IO-390 just for shock value!
