Flying tool kit
What have you found to be indispensable tools for a traveling/flying tool kit?
Also, what did you use to store/carry the tools?
I've got an Rv-10 that usually just has two passengers so weight and space are not as much of an issue.
Thanks,
Tom Hanaway

Variety of lightweight tools.
Goody bag with an assortment of screws, wire, terminal ends, a few lenghts of safety wire, nuts, bolts, washers, 2 brake puck gaskets
Of course, duct tape, weldon epoxy
glo-nights sicks, small led flashlight, mylar space blanket & a poncho
Not in my tool kit, but I also carry a bag with a couple bottles of water & propel, power bars, cliff bars...

Extra tube for tires, some sort of jacking mechanism for the airplane, and a pump to inflate the tube.
I also carry a couple spare spark plugs plus wrench. And when flying in remote areas, some survival equipment.
I got two Bison Bags that fit behind the seats in the RV-9, but your space in a 10 may be different size/shape.

FYI, the Bison bags are correctly shaped for a 10, and there is room enough for 3 of them to fit across the baggage area, if you do not stuff them till they bulge.

For your RV-10, an extra set of brake pads - they are not a common type.

CO2 4 air pump
I keep a spare tube but use the little Co2 cartriages and the little adapter from a motorcyle shop to air it up. Small and compact.

Not exactly a "tool" but I just learned this trick this past weekend - a spare GAS CAP!!

Oh, yeah, along with the spare fuel cap, also a spare fuel drain with (new) o-ring in place. Easy to change wet, though you might lose a cup of fuel.

ACME lip extension tool. So you can kiss your *** goodbye if things go really bad.
