I use the Ryobi band saw from Home Depot. DO NOT use the blade it comes
with, find a blade with more teeth, at least 15 teeth per inch. It make
cutting thin aluminum very quick and easy, especially the stiffeners in
the ailerons and rudder. Also a great thing to have is the Ryobi 5 inch
disc/36 inch belt sander ($89) at Home Depot. It makes quick work of
straightening the long trimmed edges of the stiffeners and rounding off
the edges. Get 120 or 150 belts and get several grits for the disc. It
is invaluable. Also used the belt sander to get the long edges of the
rudder bottom equal and smooth after trimming close to the finely
scribed trim line.

I just got off the phone with Baron (who is in the United Arab
Emirates) and he wanted me to tell you BANDSAW!!! You don't need an
expensive one per say, just one that will cut metal. The tin snips tend
to deform the metal he said..we got our bandsaw at Home Depot for
~$100.I don't remember the brand but it isn't a fancy one.

Temp shop is organized, tooling is pretty much all set, inventory is
complete!
Am about to start Step 1, "breaking" the edges for the HS main spar
reinforcements.
Am really a new guy to this kind of thing and freely admit I know
nothing! Any hot tips as I get started?
