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 Smile 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.
