New Torque Wrench

Arrh, Arrh, Arrh, new tools! This is my CDI 751 LDIN 0-75 in/lb 1/4" torque wrench that I got on ebay at a bargain. Sells for 3x what I paid. Love getting a deal but it's a tool I have to have to get it right. Many of the smaller nuts and bolts are torqued in inch/pounds (instead of foot/pounds) so you need a way to accurately measure them. The elevator hinge bracket on the rear spar right behind the wrench will be the first to get torqued. As an added bonus, the torque wrench also measures in Newton-metres so I can now fly in Europe (there will be a test on pseudovectors after lunch).
