I will now out of embarrassment admit I couldn't remember the name swamp cooler the entire time I was filming this.

HEY, dumb question
I have a tons of tools but mostly metric, haven't used SAE tools in a long time (working on foreign cars)
I am guessing that 99% of airplane shit is SAE ?
IS THERE ANY metric needed to work on most GA airplanes ?

[@brycebuildsit]

You will run Into the occasional 10mm but to your point 80% of all hardware in GA is SAE. We are starting to see more metric with experimental and foreign aircraft being certified in the U.S.
