Finally someone real time building an 8. Subscribed and notifications turned on. I'll be following along.

Thanks for sharing. What part of the country are you in, I see a Colts logo back there. I'm in NE Ohio, just getting things together to start an RV-8 build.

I am trying to make a decision about the squeezer. Did you start out with he pneumatic or did you get frustrated with manual squeezing and upgrade? What do you think of the foot pedal?

[@pilottender]

I was able to find someone selling a pneumatic squeezer on vansairforce for a decent price so I had that pretty much from the beginning. If you do start with just the hand squeezer I recommend the "main squeeze" I believe it's called that Cleaveland Aircraft Tool sells. It has a better mechanical advantage and is much easier to squeeze than doing it by hand. Another consideration would be the Numatx squeezer, arguably I would get that over a pneumatic squeezer, although the downside is the Numatx only has a foot pedal and there are definitely times where it is handy to have the thumb trigger on the pneumatic.
