100% info, no filler. Viewing is obligatory. I even like the music.

Those are called "clecos" (available at aircraft and auto shops) They hold sheet metal parts together, using the holes that will be eventually filled with rivets. It is a temporary fastener used while building.

HI Jon, I am from Iraq, you can call me Roy, my friend Aqeel, who is built STOL 701.
I am grateful for your assistance to him.

No match drill holes on this model, see the CH750 for that feature!

Hi. Do you have to treat all the metal for anti-corrosion?

[@benedicto.050]

6061 aluminum is not so prone to corrosion as the 2024 alloy.
As long as you are not based near the sea, the extra effort to put corrosion protection isn't worth.
