| Subject: | Empennage Kit Arrived! |
Things are starting to happen! My first kit arrived, today, a whole day early.
My tools are on order - some from Browns, but most from Plane Tools. Shaun,
there, was really nice and helpful. They are in Kansas, and I am orginally from
Kansas (KU graduate), and they offer some really good prices on what seems
to be a pretty complete tool kit. I am getting a pneumatic sequeezer and the
DRDT-2 dimpler, which everyone seems to be raving about.
I drove my daughter's VW Bug in to work today, but I will load the kit into my
sister-in-law's van to take home so I won't have to wait. My finger surgery is
set for Thursday, so I guess that will give me some time to study the manual.
I am the kind that wants to open the box and get to work, so not having all
my tools and a hand that won't quite be ready to work will be good in that it
will force me to read the manual and to inventory and organize things a bit.
Organization is not my strong point.
Thanks for all your help and encouragement. The next couple of years ought to
be really great.

Jeff,
You will need a few days of recovery after the surgery and this will be
the perfect opportunity to get yourself organized. It sounds to me that
you won't have any trouble in this area. First step is to inventory the
parts and get started on the manual. Get a cabinet ready for the tools
with a handy spots in the front for the drill and the rivet gun. The
time honored way of storing clecos is to cut the side out of a milk jug.
I hope you have at least 2 sets of cleco pliers. I like having
individual containers for the rivets. That way you get out what you need
and it is less confusing. Get a board or table set up so you can have
ready access to the plans. You may wish to scan or photocopy the plans
in case you get grease on the originals.
Happy building.
