Yes, drill bits tend to walk without a starting point/hole. Grab a small strip
of oak (I use scrap hardwood flooring) and cut it down to 1 x 3 (or smaller).
File (or mill) a very shallow slot across the block to match the radius of your
tubing, which I assume is 5/16 diameter. In the center of the shallow slot,
drill a hole using a #40 drill bit. Sand and round off all corners of the
block on the slotted side. The slot in the block will allow you to locate and
center the wooden block over the fabric / tubing and pressing on the block will
retard the tendency for the drill bit to walk. It is better to start small
with a #40 drill bit used as a pilot drill. Once you have the initial hole, it
is very easy to open them up to full rivet size. The hardwood block will eventually
wear; but will surely last long enough to complete your task. Good luck.

The bullet-type drill bits are great but I have not been able to get them for the
past 2-3 years. Couldn't even find them on the internet. If you know of a
source let me know.

Subject: | New Tires availabe soon |
Hello Kolbers,
I visited the Alaska Airmen's Great Alaska Aircraft Gathering over the
weekend at Anchorage International Airport. The rep from Desser Tire and
Rubber had a soft smooth 8.5 X 6 LSA tire in display. The weight of the tire
is 10 lbs. The Rep said they are going to produce a whole line of tundra
tires. Sounds like they are going to give Bush Wheels Airstreak tires some
competition.They are asking $175 for preorders of the 8.5 X 6. The rep said
their prices will be lower than Bush Wheels.
There is a fellow in Arizona who has 26" Airstreaks on a Kolbra he is
working on. He likes the tall tires and said the it allow he some nice soft
landing in the rough country where he flys.

Split-point bits work great. I bought a 10-pack #30s and made it through my
entire project (Earthstar eGull).

Just today I bought a two-step drill bit; pilot is praps 3/64", then main part
of the drill is 1/8" Cost $16 but it's a double-ender. This what you're looking
for?

Russ,
No, the bits I remember were made/sold by Black & Decker. The 1/8" bit had a "mini"
bit on the tip probably around 1/32" which made a pilot hole to guide the
1/8" bit into. It was so small it was no problem to drill into a rib tube without
it moving around. I think it was called a "Pilot Point" bit?

Just checked on the net. Looks like Dewalt is making a pilot point bit that looks
the same as the old Black and Decker one.

Russ,
I should have read your email closer. Getting too old! Your bit sounds exactly
like the ones B & D made only they were single ended and a lot cheaper.

Sounds like the same bit. These are US-made. Dunno what B&D uses

Jerry, One way to extend the life of a wood block drill guide is to soak
the hole with "Super Glue" and allow it to plasticize the wood. Redrill the
hole after the glue dries as the wood fibers will swell. Not as good as a
hardened steel drill bushing, but cheaper and easy to make.
I used the same trick when I made the floor board for my Mk III on the
edges and the attachment holes. When I had the shape drawn out with pencil
I soaked the wood all around the periphery. Worked great to keep the birch
plywood from chipping.
If appearance is important and you plan to varnish or otherwise finish the
wood, test a piece of scrap to see how the Super Glue affects the look of
the part. The fellow who gave me these tips on Super Glue said that Daimler
uses a similar process to get that highly polished look on the wood dash
inserts on Mercedes Benz cars.
Thanks to Russ K and Larry for the tips on the drill bits.
