I am a new builder, S/N A-36, am just finishing the tail kit, and am a bit
daunted by the tales that I have heard regarding the amount of sanding
required to finish the flying surfaces. I am considering purchasing an "Air
Inline Sander" from Harbor Freight, which looks like it might be just the
ticket to reduce untold hours of manual labor. It has a sanding surface 2.75
by 17.5 inches. Has anybody any experience with this or a similar tool, and
does it work OK on smoothing the filler?
Also, Harbor Freight has an "Air Body Saw" which also looks useful, for
cutting access panels , etc. Once again, any experience out there?
Thanks, Chuck Popenoe
