Hi guys,
I just finished an AOPA article on tools for minor emergencies like a
flat tire, cracked canopy, a dinged wing or prop, belt or electrical
problem. I’d started one, but after reading this article I visited
Harbor Freight, O’Rielly’s and Farm and Fleet. The tools, spares, bag,
and rags weigh in at 10lbs. I spent a little over $50.00 for the tools I
didn’t have, bought lightest and least costly where possible and only
good wrenches and sockets where necessary. I looked over my motorcycle
tool kit for what constitutes /essential /before hand. It was probably
worth the effort if only for peace of mind. Do "yard-sale" the sockets
and wrenches that don't fit anything on the plane.
