Gentlemen,



I sincerely appreciate everyone's input on the tool questions I had.  I think for now, I'll buy the Main Squeeze and see how that works before deciding what to do about a pneumatic squeezer.



Thanks again,

Bill Settle

Thanks guys for the info on the pneumatic vs main squeeze.  I ordered the

main squeeze today.  I had not thought about having one hand free to hold

parts.  That's something to think about...  Then again, I'm sure the little

wifey will be there the whole way to hold parts for me...  right?



Another question please, if I may...  I'm filling out my order form for my

tail kit as we speak.  Do I want electric trim or manual?  I just sold my

Luscombe and it didn't know anything about electrically operated control

surfaces.



Thanks,

Bill Settle.

I went manual (no motor to fail or anything), but then I read about a

gadget that will operate the flaps and the trim auto-magically together.

Cool  Very handy; no re-trimming when deploying flaps on approach, or

hauling them up during a go around. I *might* convert: haven't decided

yet.



RE: tools. If you don't get the pneumatic, do yourself a BIG favour and

get a DRDT-2; actually, do the tail first, *then* get the DRDT-2 before

the wing skins come along. You'll appreciate it much more then. I

guarantee it will be a decision you won't regret!



Cheers,

Another thing to consider regarding the trim

selection.  There is an autopilot, I believe a TruTrak

model, that will automatically adjust your elevator

trim while maintaining, and / or while climbind or

descending at a desired rate.



Increases your servo longevity, and makes life a

little easier on you.  (Assuming there will be an AP

in there!)

Ah.. The closest thing to an AP that I had planned on was my bride.  But then again, that's why I'm putting her behind me instead of beside me...

Bill



I really lke manual trim But did go electric in my seven. I too would like 

to hear from those that are now flying to get their take on which is best.



Bill, I would strongly recommend to you the pneumatic. Unform rivets, ease 

of use, some parts will only allow for a small unit to get at the 

rivet................Fo many parts my vise is used as a second/third/fourth 

hand when riveting with the pneumatic.



I went without for a while but FINALLY gave in and bought the air 

squeezer....very little $$$$$$$$$$$$ for the results. Maybe someone in your 

area has one and will allow you a demo squeeze.
