Fellow Builders,



 I building a new rudder for 'ol Ruby Vixen and was pondering how to install the rod end bearings after the leading edge is formed.  I think I did it the first time with a pliers or something that kind of scatched the bearing and ran the risk of tweaking the leading edge.  I was surfing around on Flyboy Accessories this week and found this sweet Rod End Bearing Tool.  It arrived today and I can't believe how awesome it is.  It totally works as good as you would imagine.  Order one today!!  You won't be sorry.



 (No connection with FB or the tool maker; just a really impressed owner.)

Avery tool has sold this one for years....  I used in on my RV-4 and it's been flying for over 10 years.

Or, just make it yourself, if you have pvc plumbing supplies lying     around. It only takes about 15 minutes to make, once you see how to     do it.
