    I happen to building a Bushby Mustang II, the same model of aircraft as the one that crashed. It is a moderately popular two-place homebuilt, and was one of the first all-metal homebuilts when it...

    Another vote for the Wilson. No pilots, no collets. Chuck it in your vice when you need to use it; put it back in its tiny box when you're done. You can buy a lot of different Wilson caseholders...
