[rebel-builders] Cleco Question

[Rich Dodson]

Hi Craig,

So far I have completed the tail feathers and am starting on the wings. I have used:

300 Silver
300 Copper
25 Gold

and have not run out yet. I expect to have to stock up on more when I build a wing.

Best Wishes,
Rich

Anyone know which clecos we'll use the most of at any one time building our
rebel? And what's a good number to have on hand for each size? Please
don't say "you can't have enough"!! Thanks Craig

I have 400 of both 3/32" and 1/8". Wing is where you need them. 400 is
not to much! If you can have some of the short type, they are more
expensive but... sometime very appreci...

The wing is the big user. If you plan carefully you can use a mix of silver
and copper and get away with a couple hundred of each. When you're ordering
also get a dozen or 25 black 5/32" ones for when you screw up.

Thanks to all for the cleco answers. According to my plans, I should be
able to start the plane by the end of this month!! :)

Hi Mike !

Interesting question !!!

Apparently, the Cleco trademark is over 113 years old !!
It belongs to Cooper Tools, of Houston, TX ... Seems like the
original manufacturer might have been a spin-off company
from the Central Louisiana Electric Company !!!!

I think you are right - it's a former brand name that has
become part of the language ! Anybody got more info ???

I agree with the 300-400 number for #40 and #30. You need a lot less #10.
I only have a small bag of those, probably less than 50. I have a small
bag of #20 as well for those #30 holes you are going to mess up. I also
have a handful of long clecoes which are needed here and there. A half
dozen or so of the high tension wingnut clecoes (PWN Series) would have
been nice when I was doing the wing spars but I managed without them. I
like this website
(http://www.panamericantool.com/family.c ... 0FASTENERS) for
seeing all the different kinds of clecoes. Regular clecoes are only $0.35
each so the prices aren't out of line there either.

P.S. I wonder if Cleco was once a brand name and is now used to describe
the fastener no matter who makes it. Like "Kleenex".
