Tanks...
Tanks welded for the 3rd time, no leaks. Yay!
Tank support brackets mounted in outboard fuel tank bay. These are REALLY HARD TO PUT IN. Doesn't matter if they are laying down, or upright in the jig - the rivets farthest away suck.
Left Outboard tank installed.
Fuel sender. Going to redo the wiring... not happy with it.
Inboard left fuel tank installed.
The big flip.... left wing back onto the jig, right wing onto the table.
Repeating the whole cove skin process. The first set of coves took me what seemed like weeks. These are going much faster because (a) Ive done it before, and (b) everything is already cut (but not fit).
All the coves and doublers need to be acid etched and alodyned, then can be bonded in place.
Once this is done, then the tanks go into the wing, the ribs get riveted and then off they go to the airport, and the fuselage comes home!
Nice progress Sean!
