is the SAME!
I'm 6'3" and the 750 was a good comfortable fit for me. Leg room is usually the
problem, but the 750 was fine.
If I were looking for a project right now, the 750 would be on the short list for
sure. You guys are going to have a good time with this one.

Help!
Any suggestions for bending the cabin front side skins (8F14-3)? I have
made a mess out of trying to bend the first one. The sharp 90 which
transisition's to the curved form leading to the firewall is NOT a shape
the aluminum sheet is happy to conform into.
Thanks,
Jeff

That is probably the second hardest piece to fabricate outside of the wi
ng root fairing. What most of us did was to establish the tight 90 degre
e bend and then nest it into its home, from there you can bend the incre
asing radius in the aluminum till it conforms to the firewall. It is a p
ain in the butt though. One of us earlier builders even went as far as t
o build a die and try to form the piece around it. The memory of the she
et alum was too great to overcome. It was a good idea though.. Good lu
ck.

| Subject: | Build sequence for 801 |
I'm looking for some advice about build sequence. Should the wings be made prior
to the slats / flaperons, vice versa, or is it unimportant? I read ahead in
the manual but nothing jumped out at me saying one needs to come first. Any
advice from those that have already been there would be great.
The tail section is nearly done and I'm looking to move to the next component -
and I'm just trying to figure out what to do next.
Regards,
Ben

Hello, all
I intend to buy a (manual) rivet squeezer (so far I have borrowed one), and
I would appreciate to read about your experiences with these tools:

Thanks for your comments

A good tool is never cheap. The squeezers you list except for Avery all
use proprietary yokes. The Avery squeezer uses the same yokes the
pneumatic squeezers use. These are high quality yokes you can buy most
anywhere, but better yet you can BORROW from other builders. If you
have any RV builders in your area, many use pneumatic squeezers (they
squeezers tens of thousands of rivets). Those that don't tend to have
either the Avery or Cleaveland tool kits that also use the pneumatic
yokes. If you need to squeeze many, but not a lot (I know it's all
relative), I recommend the Cleaveland tools "Main Squeeze" (see link
below). It is 30% lighter in weight & 65% less effort required and,
yes, it's true. I've used it. I also own the Avery hand squeezer and a
pneumatic squeezer. BTW, the Avery squeezer comes with quick change
yoke pins and, more importantly, an adjustable set holder that is strong
enough to be used in pneumatic squeezer. That will make setting up the
squeezer a lot easier.
When building and eventually, flying your aircraft, you'll still need to
have tools for repair and maintenance. I understand this is an
expensive purchase for you, but it is really an investment. The ability
to use "standard" yokes will make the tool total investment less and, if
you want or need to, you can more easily sell it/them. Lastly, the
first two squeezers on your list are only $9 and $0 Dollars different
from the Avery Squeezer (ignoring the exchange rate).

Good Luck with your build,

Oh yeah, former RV-6A builder....I know about squeezing rivets.... :)
