    From: "Blizzard" <cd.stone@sbcglobal.net>
    Have made the decision to build an RV-10 starting late fall or winter. Looking for some guidance on getting tooled up to begin. Laundry list of tools needed, suppliers, and particularly the best quality pneumatic tools that most are using. Rivet gun, drill, squeezer, dimpler, hoses, swivels, etc. Thanks.

    Look at planetools.com or cleavelandtool. They both have good kits that cover most of what you need. Do a few searches regarding the drdt-2 to see if you want that or the standard c-frame. Highly recommend a pneumatic squeezer but you can get through without it. Welcome to the club and good luck on the project!

    You'll get some good advice here. Two general things I'd say: 1. I bought one of the 'kits' offered by several vendors. I found it to be a real good starting point, especially for the many small bits of hardware required. Saves a lot of time and they sent generally good stuff. (I'd be specific but I forgot who and don't know if they are still around) 2. I wrote this on another blog and think its a great thing if able to do: "Generally speaking, one of the most informative events during my build was attending a builder class where they had 3 or 4 different brands or styles of each tool, including squeezers, guns, countersinks, cleco pliers, etc. we were encouraged to try each of them. It was a real eye opener in the sense that each student had strong preferences for one flavor or a another and those preferences were all over the map. Some of us even decided that certain tools werent needed at all. Difficult to replicate but something tothinkabout." In other words, there are few 'best tools', but a lot of good ones. Personal preference is a big deal in some categories like hand squeezers, pnuematic tools in general, and some optional tools like pneumatic cleco guns. Enjoy the build!

    In retrospect, I think the decision on C-frame vs DRDT2 comes down to help. If you plan to be solo most of the time, the DRDT is the way to go. If you have a helper you can save yourself a few hundred dollars and go with the C-Frame.and save the gym membership fee too. I use ATS- Aircraft tool and supply for many of my tools as well as cleaveland and brown for some. Get the plans on the flash drive from Van=99s read what tools you will need and start making a list. Then you can compare the various tool dealers and keep the info in a spreadsheet. The kits are great; I just think they have tools that you may not need for 2 years or more in them. We all know you will need the basic stuff, airtank, lines, connections, drill, squeezer of some kind. Airtank----spend a few dollars here. I am getting ready to upgrade yet once again and could have saved myself the time and money had I done it right the first time. Get a 2 stage, 25 or more gallon, oiled air pump and tankeither that or build a building way away from your workspace for the cheepo tank we can get at Harbor Freight.

    John Jessen bought a DRDT-2 when it first came out and I promptly put it in my hangar. Best move I ever made. Soon, I'm sure he'll want it back. It's a fantastic tool. Build a carpet covered table around it and you won't regret it. No banging noises and you can do it without an assistant. Pneumatic squeezer with multiple "heads". I miss AVERY tools, but, I'm sure someone has stepped up with an RV builder's kits that's more than adequate.

    I agree with everything that has been said here, and will add just a bit. It is really helpful to have a good woodcutting bandsaw with the finest toothed metal cutting blade you can get. There are a lot of cuts in aluminum to be made and this will help immensely. Also, although pricey, I found the tungsten bucking bars (I have two) to be literally worth their weight in gold. They are small and able to fit places where steel bars simply can=99t work. I would not consider building an RV without them.

    Subject: RV10 building tools
    I am building my second RV10 ii 8 years. First one took 18mo. Second one about done in 9mo. Good places to get tools is Cleveland, Avery Tools and the Yard Store in Wichita. I invested about $5,000 in tools. One thing for sure is that Vans list is very, very deficient. You will be ordering hard ware a lot as you go along also. You can google supply stores for hard ware and non aircraft parts. Harbor Freight has compressors, pop riveters, 2-foot hydraulic jacks, air hoses, right angle grinders, wrench sets, sockets, etc., etc. I composed a list of everything I could think of and then added more to the list as I talked to builders and found out what I needed while building. You can't imagine some of the tools you will need until you get going. Good luck.

    I did my entire build with a pneumatic squeezer and occasionally borrowed a hand squeezer. In retrospect, I would spend less on the pneumatic by getting a used or rebuilt one from Brown or others, and get a good hand squeezer that uses the same yokes. A hand squeezer has much better control and finesse, while the pneumatic is better for multiple rivets. The DRDT-2 is a fantastic tool, especially if building at home and not wanting the noise of hammering on a C-frame.

    I purchased all my tools from Cleaveland Tools and harbor freight. The tungs ten bucking bar is worth the price. The fabrication of spar caps and others a re easily accomplished with a band saw, belt and rotary sander, scotchbrite w heel, and drill press. You can see the tools I use at Https:/www.rv10airplaneadventures.com Finishing the rudder tomorrow. Good luck with your build!

    Hi I suggest a belt sander be added to the tool mix. It is very handy when cleaning up straight cuts on parts. Cheers Les C-GCWZ - Sold C-GROK - Some assembly required Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=483395#483395

    Subject: Ceramic coating of exhaust
    From: "kearney" <kearney@shaw.ca>
    Hi I was chatting with my painter today and he suggested I look at getting my exhaust tubes ceramic coated. Has anyone tried this on an IO-540 and if so what was the result. Comments / opinions appreciated. Cheers Les Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=483396#483396

    I would check with Vetterman. IIRC he is opposed to a coating, with it retaining more heat in the pipes.

    Ceramic coating is too often improperly applied externally and the result is premature exhaust tube failure. Heat transfer is a normal process of combustion. Tread cautiously.
