(Mark Grieve) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 09:56:26 AM PST US Subject: RV9-List: Empennage Kit Arrived! From: "Jeff Rosson" 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. Mark Grieve Non-practicing builder Jeff Rosson wrote: > > Things are starting to happen!
