Folks use all sorts of stuff, I used a 2X gun, I like it, but found it too small
for
the spar to web rivets, had to drill em out! The spar is solid and does to let
the
bucking bar buck! I just posted how to drill out a rivet at http://ahyup.com/ReRivet/
Lurk around and check out different web sites , mine is http://ahyup.com It links to
others that link to others. Get some good tools, you want them to be a joy to use.

Lyle-
You'll get LOTS of conflicting advice on these questions, but I suggest you start
out with one of the standard "RV tool kits" from Avery or Cleaveland. They
are the two best tool companies on the market and they understand RV's. Use the
bars, sets, etc that come with the kit. Buy an organizer for your riveting and
dimpling dies. You WILL buy more later (more dies, bucking bars, drills, etc),
depending on how your kit progresses, etc. Most builders keep buying tools
for a year or more after they start. This is not a bad thing, as different builders
have differet styles and thus want different tools. Anything you buy from
Avery or Cleaveland will be of excellent quality.
I went to Sun-n-Fun last year and came home with a $275 pneumatic squeezer from
the USATCO booth. Saved a bit from the usual $400 price. But Avery's and Cleaveland's
hand squeezers do an excellent job, too.
If you're building one of the older kits and will assemble the spar yourself, then
a 3X gun is mandatory. If you get a pre-built spar, then a 2X will fit the
bill.
The rest is pure enjoyment.

--> RV9-List message posted by: "Lyle Peterson" <lyleap@access4less.net>
It is so disheartening to learn that aviators are so narrow minded and
selfish. If you people had used one tenth of the energy you expended on
blasting my question to providing useful information, you could have
written a book. As is it you only demonstrated that you 1. Don't know
the answers, 2. Think that your knowledge is so unique that it can't be
shared, 3. You have an immense amount of time to waste, 4. You have
absolutely no respect for other people, whether they be builders or not.
Someone suggested that the question was 'stupid.' The only stupid
question is one that you can't answer!
I checked the archives for the "gazillion" answers to be found there. I
found four and not all of them pertained directly to my question. None
of them covered all the questions I had posed.
A few responded off list. They probably did not want to be caught by
the lords of the list giving information to a new builder. I do thank
those few for the information they so generously shared. They are very
unlike the rest of the listers. Some two thousand people on these lists
and only a very few are willing to answer. Rather, several find the
time to waste flaming the questioner. The thread continues under the
guise of a 'Food Fight.' How charming!
So many messages use an existing subject because so few of you have
figured out how to start a new thread on the list. Shame, shame. Look
at the bottom of the message for the information you need. You don't
even have to ask a question of the list, and thus get flamed for a
stupid question.
I did envision one day flying it to Oshkosh. If I do, which is
doubtful, I will park it in the Vintage area. There are some folks
there that will talk decently to you about airplanes and lots of other
things.
If you get too many copies of this email, use the delete key.
Thanks for nothing,
Lyle Peterson
