Greetings,
I have a question about tools.
I noticed there are some rivets on the wing spar (when checking the preview plans in forum). I prefer to use hi-loc fasteners and would substitute where applicable to avoid using a rivet gun. Let's say I start with a #2 rivet and o'size due to smiles etc. and need a #6 but whoa that's like as big as they get! What I mean is a hi-loc is stronger and I don't need a compressor!

On second thought will a rivet squeezer handle the riveting?

Actually I need some info on a tool list so I can plan and procure for when I pick up and set up my build please and thanks.

We acquire calibrated equipment for the C-12/Beech-200 a/c and when it's new they are placed in service as calibrated. I know a DAR may have a difference of opinion but our approved airworthiness program allows this. It may be something I have to deal with as well.

I appreciate some feedback so I can calculate my tooling from long distance to gain as much progress as I can when I'm there.
