I fretted over how to bend the tabs like many other builders. At a fellow 7A builder's
house yesterday, we talked about how to keep the wood wedge in place
whilst tapping on it with a piece hardwood. He suggested double sided tape.
I cut a piece of maple, tapered from 7/8" to 1/8" over a 4" centerline span and
placed it along the bend line. Put the scraps from either side of the piece
on the outside and clamped. The double sided tape held great and this much anticipated
event was no biggie. I thought I would pass it along for those who
come behind me.

I am a first time builder and am looking for tools to build a RV-7A.
Hoping to find someone who doesn't need them anymore and willing to sell for
a good price.
Also do I really need 525 Clecos to build a RV-7A quickbuild kit?
Thanks!

I can recommend the toolset from Avery. It doesn't seem worthwhile to
try and piece together a toolset from scratch. The savings will turn
out to be minimal, the quality and usefulness of the used tools will
dubious. I have been impressed with the Avery tools and I have already
used almost every one for the tail alone.
No, for a quickbuild you do not need 525 clecos. I'm currently working
on the tail with the Avery toolkit. If you tell them you will be doing
the quickbuild they will adjust the number of clecos. I believe I got
150 of the 3/32 ones (silver) and 125 1/8's, and a handful of other
sizes. I have had all the 3/32's in use already so I might get another
100.
I tried to find someone who would sell their tools too, but few are
interested. They need the tools for the next project, or for
maintenance etc. I'm glad I got the prepackaged toolkit.

till "late January." Anyone have another source for these?
