Gentlemen,
I sincerely appreciate everyone's input on the tool questions I had. I think for
now, I'll buy the Main Squeeze and see how that works before deciding what
to do about a pneumatic squeezer.
Thanks again,
Bill Settle

The pneumatic squeezer permits one hand to hold parts. I am happy with m
y Main Squeeze, and DSRT. My pneumatic squeezerorginally came fro Clear
air.

If you have the $, I highly recommend the pneumatic squeezer. It not
only speeds the repetitive dimpling / riveting process involved in
attaching the larger skins and other components, it also provides
consistency with the appearance of the numerous rivets that is difficult
to achieve with a hand squeezer.
Got mine (refurbished) from U.S. Industrial Tools and have been
completely satisfied with the operation and value received.
And an off track lesson learned from long-ago posts: If you do get one,
don't oil it like you do drills and other tools.

Thanks guys for the info on the pneumatic vs main squeeze. I ordered the
main squeeze today. I had not thought about having one hand free to hold
parts. That's something to think about... Then again, I'm sure the little
wifey will be there the whole way to hold parts for me... right?
Another question please, if I may... I'm filling out my order form for my
tail kit as we speak. Do I want electric trim or manual? I just sold my
Luscombe and it didn't know anything about electrically operated control
surfaces.
Thanks,
Bill Settle.

I went manual (no motor to fail or anything), but then I read about a
gadget that will operate the flaps and the trim auto-magically together.
Cool :-) Very handy; no re-trimming when deploying flaps on approach, or
hauling them up during a go around. I *might* convert: haven't decided
yet.
RE: tools. If you don't get the pneumatic, do yourself a BIG favour and
get a DRDT-2; actually, do the tail first, *then* get the DRDT-2 before
the wing skins come along. You'll appreciate it much more then. I
guarantee it will be a decision you won't regret!
Cheers,

Another thing to consider regarding the trim
selection. There is an autopilot, I believe a TruTrak
model, that will automatically adjust your elevator
trim while maintaining, and / or while climbind or
descending at a desired rate.
Increases your servo longevity, and makes life a
little easier on you. (Assuming there will be an AP
in there!)
