Been a while since last update but I did get a pneumatic squeezer and dies for $152.20 from Ebay.
Unfortunately I ran into some probs building my shed, city said it could not be on side of house, WHAT!
So I am currently working on enlarging the 6X8 Shed in the back, so the build is on hold for a short time.

My name is Alan and I am a part-time CFI, I work full-time for a large government water agency.
At this job I am a O&M Tech, basically I do welding, machining, rebuild/repair air/water/hydraulic pumps etc...
I was on track to build a Cozy MKIV when I decided that the moldless fiberglass construction
just is not my thing right now. I must say the group is great and have heard the same about the RV group.

Unfortunately I have posted to VAF to find a builder in the Riverside area that I could help
in order to learn some techniques, but have had no luck.

I have made the decision to go ahead with the Tailwheel and Tip-Up, so those decisions are out of the way.
Now the primer issue, boy, this one is a killer.

I am going to slow build the Empennage (obviously) and fuselage but, I am thinking that I will
go with the Quickbuild Wings.
