Tungsten bar recommendations

Building RV-8 and need recommendations on best size tungsten bucking bar. I already have a 1x3/8x4. Easy to handle in open areas. Need best one overall size or couple for different areas.

Get the set from Blake at Flyboys. You’ll appreciate it when you need/use them. They all come from Midwest. His prices were the best when I got mine.

The second most used in my box is the same size but thinner. Maybe 3/8"? I also have a tungsten rotor blade balance weight. It's about 3/4" cylinder shape. Rarely used but when needed, it's nice to have it.
I use home made bars a lot. Buy some cold rolled steel bar stock and have them cut it.

I have a bunch of bars. I use this one more than any other. The others I grind down for access to difficult places.
