I will offer a different opinion on those two items. I had the big ass air compressor from Harbor Freight for my entire build. It was an oiled compressor which is supposed to be quieter than an oil-less. But wow, was it loud! I now own a 3 gal, 1.5 hp Kobalt compressor from Lowes. It is VERY quite, and recharges quickly because it's a small tank. Now that I am not building it is infinitely more useful around my house, and I can toss it in the back of my car to take it to the airport. So you could consider a nice quality unit like this.
As for the air drill, I used mine for a week or two, then realized it was not necessary and was a PITA to use even with my big ass compressor. It uses air too fast, and the tank took a long time to recharge, and it was just cumbersome to drag that darn hose around. And it was loud! I used a cordless drill and my drill press for my entire project and, at least for a Sonex, would never consider anything other than a cordless drill. I had two batteries so that one was on the charger at all times.
Just my opinion.
