RV-9A: Project Entry

Bought more tools
Van's website has a list of recommended tools for building an RV. Avery Tools has RV Tool Kit that has everything you need to start out. I'm gathering tools a little at a time, which undoubtedly more expensive, but I'm stubborn (so my wife says). Here are some more tools that I just bought. Shown in the photo are: 1/2" and 1" side grip fasteners, a microstop countersink, 2 cutters for the microstop, 3/32" and 1/8" dimple die set, a pair of fluting pliers, a hand seamer, some #30 and #40 drill bits and a new #30 drill stop to replace the one I screwed up. Only thing I need now is the Bench Mounted "C" Frame Dimpler.

I've put together a list of these tools in my RV Aircraft Tools and Books page.
