Which tools?
Hello all,
My Cessna 177 is going in for some work doing next week. A 50hr, plus a load of other bits and pieces (post-purchase bug fixes). The maintenance company are a well-regarded, friendly bunch, and say they offer "supervised maintenance", whereby we can do some of the work ourselves, under their supervision, and save some money on the labour charges.
Whilst I've not worked on aircraft, I did spent a number of years working as a pit monkey for a superbike team so am quite happy ripping engines apart, and have a great deal of mechanical sympathy.
Obviously using my own tools would be a requirement, and I guess the first thing on the shopping list would be a set of AF sockets & spanners. All my metric snap-on is pretty redundant for the task in hand.
Any recommendations as to what I should buy to get me started would be most appreciated. I would guess I'd just be doing cowlings, filters, oil, nothing too complex.
Thanks in advance...
