Hello to all,
I'm finalising my wish list for my tool kit order. (Cleaveland)
As I live in France and shipping costs can be steep, I'd like to avoid as much as possible multiple orders if I can.
I just have a few simple questions before sending the order in and would like to have input from you guys/gals that are in the actual building process.
There's a very good chance that I'll go for a standard build RV-8. For the time, I'm waiting for my empennage kit to arrive.
How many of the 3M Scotch Brite Red Hand Pads would I normally need? The proposed quantity is 4... That seems a bit thin to me... 10, 20, 30, more?
Does (300) 3/32", (150) 1/8" and (10) 3/16" Clekos seem ok?
I've seen 325 and 175 suggested elsewhere and since it's not much more expensive... I know that more can be better than less but I also want to try to avoid the overkill...
Avery and PlaneTools also suggests (10) 5/32" Clekos but not Cleaveland, what do you think?
Should I order double the quantities of drill bits just to be on the safe side?
Are 3 Sharpie Markers enough?
Are 2 back rivet tapes enough? http://www.cleavelandtoolstore.com/prodinfo.asp?number=RT811
Only 1 is suggested knowing that one tape is 32.9 meters long.
How about Beolube, 1 or 2 tubes..., or more?
PlaneTools proposes straight cut snips on top of the right and left handed ones, what do you think?
PlaneTools proposes a 3/32" Pop Rivet Dimple Die, and a 1/8" Pop Rivet Dimple Die, are these usefull?
Any other suggestions from you?
Many thanks in advance !!!
Eric
