  • Cleco Fasteners Requirement for QB

    I have Eric Newton's manuals, and in the tools section for the Cleco count it list the following quantities:
    • 500 3/32
    • 200 1/8
    • 50 5/32
    But that is for a scratch build, since I will be going the QB route - I don't want to over buy - I'm assuming most of those 500 3/32 cleco's are so one could cleco up an entire wing? Since the QB wings are mostly finish I doubt I would need anywhere near that. I was thinking a quantity more like the following.
    • 200 3/32
    • 100 1/8
    • 50 5/32
    Anyone see anything wrong with those quantities? (I would be doing 1 QB wing at a time)

    I think that is about what I would suggest. I only used all my 200 3/32 one time. You want the most 3/32 for closing the wings, the rest not so much.

      The 4 place may be different but on the patrol the only place I can remember using the 5/32 was building the spar.
