I just purchased my airline ticket to go down to Sun 'n Fun here in a
couple weeks, and am planning on checking for sale prices on the RV-8
tail kit as well as tool kits while I'm there. Just scanning the web, I
found a RV tool kit from Avery (page 3 of their on-line catalog at
http://www.averytools.com/) that looked like it had all (or at least
most) of the tools necessary to build the RV. Obviously, buying new
tools isn't the cheapest way to go, but I was wanting to get comments
on the completeness of the kit and if there were items that would not
be necessary in the kit. There is an active local RV builder's group,
so if there are tools that are only used a couple times during the
build process, these could probably be borrowed when necessary.
The primary decision to make for this Avery tool kit is the choice
between a 2x and 3x rivet gun. Does it really matter? Which is going to
be better for the build process, or should I invest the extra money and
eventually get one of each? If getting both is the suggestion, which
should I get first with the tool kit?
Also, regarding air tools, how large of a compressor (gallons) should I
be looking for and what are the minimum flow ratings for different PSI
that I should be looking for.
Thanks for the clarification on these various items.

Steve,
If you don't have the preview plans yet, get them! It
includes the drawings, a manual, accessories catalog.
After you've been through this excellent primer,
you'll be drooling to get started! :) There is a
section with a good discussion on tools. Regarding
the rivet gun they say "the 3x size is preffered by
most builders, although good results are possible with
the lighter duty 2x." Not having riveted a single
rivet myself I can't say for sure but it sounds like
its either/or.
The plans also recommend a 1-1/2 to 2 hp compressor
that develops 75psi and a 20gal tank if rotary
(continous) tools are used.
I haven't even gone flying in one yet and I've already
gotten the 'rv grin' just going through the plans. :)
