Hi Stein,
Great suggestion.
I should have mentioned that both the RV-6 and RV-6A where purchased
aircraft.

I stole the idea from some other old graybeard builder....no chance of any
fat wires vibrating around or chafing through....you'd be surprised to know
this is more common than you may think!
If you do have to use a fat wire (because your solenoids may be mounted too
far apart for the buss bar method), common standard practice is to use a
cushioned adel clamp wherever the wire runs near to any sort of metal or
brackets, or over long runs of any type. A few bucks and few minutes installing
adel
clamps really will make your installations safer & better when running any
types of wire, spark plug leads, control cables, etc..

Hi all,
Quick question about the pneumatic rivet squeezers. Whats the
disadvantages / advantages of the alligator style as opposed to the
cp214 style? Secondly is there a significant difference between the 214
model and the 314 model from Chicago Pneu? What do people recommend as
the best one to get while spending less than 4 or 500 dollars?
Spent the weekend dimpling with the hand squeezer, using clecos, spray
bottles, etc. Haven't even gotten to riveting my VS yet and already I
can see how the pneumatic squeezer is going to be invaluable...
Probably going to start riveting the VS together tonight.

James,
I have the clone 214 model from airrivettools.com, link is on Van's site under
tool suppliers. I am VERY happy with it, I have a 4" no hole, a 3" standard and
a 2.5 longeron yoke. It was on special with a complete set of dimple dies which
I highly recommend, all the screw sizes plus standard and small diameter rivet
sets, don't forget you will need a 3/32 universal set for the tail kit. I
don't own a hand squeezer, although there have been a few times when the compressor
was drained for the night it would have been nice, I am almost done with
the wings and have made without the hand powered model. Mine has enough pressure
to set all the rivets I have tried as long as you use a full size air hose
and not the mini/light hose when doing some of the larger -4 rivets, the other
model has 6000 psi where the 214 is rated at 3000. I have no experience using
the alligator I yet to come across a rivet where I though it would have helped.
Some have had luck getting these off E-bay but be careful, they may be in
need of rebuild or have worn out parts. While your at it don't forget the adjustable
set, it is invaluable but will not work with the 4" yoke, I use washers/shims
to set the 4" yoke, quick change pins are pretty good to have as well.

I'm thinking of ordering one or the other quick builds soon, either the wing
or fuselage. I'm trying to save both time and money, so thought I'd
compromise. Any opinions as to which would be "easier" to build from pieces
and which would be best bought as a quick build? My apologies if this has
all been hashed out before, but thought since many have now been down this

James,
I highly recommend a pneumatic squeezer as a must have
item. I bought mine from a local RV-6 builder who no
longer needed it. It was about 1/3rd the price of new.
I also have seen many good deals on Ebay. Just do a
search for "rivet squeezer" and don't bid on anything
old.

Another good reason to do the QB wings and regular fuselage is you don't
have to build the fuel tanks! Also, you only have to build one of
everything, the wings can get a little tiresome.

I went down this same road myself. After a lot of thinking and talking
to Vans, it was basically said that the fuselage is much more complex
than the wings, so I saved the cash on the wings, and spent it on
the fuse. Worked well for me so far. The timing can be an issue
though. So, be sure to order any QB sections you choose WELL in
advance of when you need it. Even though I was one of the earlier
QB fuse orders, it still took me over 6 months to get. Try to get
it ordered at least by the time you start your wings, if not sooner,
if you go with the fuse.
The wings are very straightforward and not too bad to build.

For me, it's QB wings and slowbuild fuse. The fuse is interesting to build,
and seldom gets boring. The wings, well, they ARE boring! Lot's of
repetition and proseal too. I've already proved my mettle (or is it
"metal"?) by building a slowbuild, non-matched hole RV8 so I'll let the
Phillippine folks do those big ole wing planks for me this time.
To each his own, but this just makes the most sense for me this time around.
For the next RV (RV3), I'll de-evolve back to raw bauxite and bailing wire
just for nostalgia's sake!

Deems,
Congratulations and welcome to the world of RV building. Since you are looking
for tools I recommend you check out the DRDT-2 dimpling tool from ExperimentalAero
(experimentalaero.com).
It will make dimpling all those holes on your RV-10 easy, fast, safe, consistent,
less fatiguing and noise free then using the impact c-frame dimpling tool.
I wish I had one when building my RV-4.

I've got my pneumatic squeezer bought. Now I need a 2.5" longeron yoke, 4" pneumatic
yoke, quick change pins and the adjustable set holder. Also, what does
it mean to use a 1/2" long flat set with the longeron yoke (evidently if you
don't you'll overextend the plunger)???
Thanks,

Welcome to this group that's about half a bubble off. Tools, heck get them
anywhere you can, and buy a little more clecos than you think you'll need.
Have fun, turn the TV off and enjoy the experience. You'll love it.

I agree. I unsed the DRDT-1 at Alexander Technical Center through their
tail program. Great tool, and when you are done you will be able to
resell it easily.

Heya Bill,
What it means is that the flat set....(the flat dime-sized squeezer set)
needs to be taller, so the piston (plunger) doesn't have to extend
quite so far to do the squeeze, since the jaws are so far apart on
the yoke. It loses its "oompf" at the end of the stroke, so by getting
a taller flat set (like maybe have a few that are 1/8", 1/4" and 3/8"
(possibly even 1/2")) tall, so that you can always get the full force
out of the squeezer.
I had the standard set with the tool kit, then picked up more later.
Cleaveland and Avery both have all sorts of these things.
The Yard Store at http://www.yardstore.com is a good place for picking
up some of the extras at a pretty low price. Probably want a 2nd
3/32" dimple die set too, 'cuz you'll be really mad the day yours
breaks it's nose off.

Any suggestions on how many clecos will be needed for the quickbuild
wings and fuse?

For the QB fuse, and wings you could get by with probably lots less.
Maybe 1/2 of the slowbuild. (300-400ish). I am in the process of
joining my tailcone right now, and you need a bunch of 3/32", but
not an overwhelming number. I imagine the fiberglass top will
require quite a few too, but I'm sure nowhere near 700-750. On the
QB wings, you would use a ton of them if you do both wings at the
same time, but if you do one at a time, I'm sure the same 300-400
would be pretty good too.
Those counts are only for the 3/32". The 1/8" you don't need all
that many for from what it looks like while doing the QB wings
and QB fuse. You can use a ton of them on the empennage though.

I just saw Doug Peterson's latest update to his web site. Looks like
there's another RV-10 about ready to fly.
As I plod along, on what will likely be a four year project, I am just so
impressed by the progress that Randy and Doug have made in slightly over a year
and a half. I've appreciated that they (and others) have shared their
progress on their web sites and the help and inspiration that that has provided
me.
Best wishes on your first flights and Godspeed.

James,
The biggest disadvantage of an alligator squeezer is the difficulty in
adjustment for setting rivets. You stack up washers till you get it just
right. The same problem exists if you buy a 214 style without the
adjustable plunger but that is something that can be changed. It seems
easier to go for a long reach with an alligator. Either kind is great
for dimpling. You can even make one a stationary tool by clamping the
head or non moving jaw into a vise. Beware, someone talked about making
an extra hole in a tank skin. Two kinds of users of pneumatic squeezers,
those who have punched a hole where one was not intended and .....
