Shook" Greetings everyone, I am forgoing building a Cozy MK-IV (maybe 2% done) for an RV-7A for too many reasons to list and I have a few questions for those willing to answer. 1) Which tool kit would you recommend? (i.e. Avery, Cleveland, etc.) 2) Would a 21 Gallon air compressor be adequate for the building process? Thanks in advance for your guidance.

I used a 1 1/2 gallon all last week end and it kept up with an airdrill and a rivet gun with hardly ever running. Where you might have some problems is with airtools that require constant running like die grinders. There is tons of info in the archives about air compressors, you could spend a day or so just reading it all. Lets start a thread about bigger vs. quieter. Avery and Cleaveland both make good tools. I have had good service from both. Mike Ice RV-9 Anchorage, Alaska ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott R.

Bought Avery kit with 3x and pneumatic squeezer. Around $2100. Get a compressor that requires oil. Quieter and will last longer. I have a Dewalt EMGLO with a little tank. Probably would not be happy spraying or running pneumatic drills but for squeezing etc its great and does not run all the time. I am on a 7a too.

I have repeatedly found Avery's customer service and responsiveness to be VASTLY better than Cleaveland's. 2. yes, but avoid the oilless type - they are EXTREMELY noisy brian http://brian76.mystarband.net/RV-7Ahome.htm -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv7-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv7-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Scott R.

It runs often and is loud but is getting the job done. I have been using the Avery tool kit. Great tools and excellent customer service. Good luck on your 7! Bill Lull > > From: "Scott R.
