Still working on the wings. There is a ton of work to complete the wings! But I have a week straight to get a lot done. I'm not really in a hurry anyway.
This is the wing fuel tank mount. After this piece is riveted on...
...I can set the tank in the wing.
This is the scariest hole you will drill in this entire airplane! Screw this up and I don't imagine that these tanks are cheap to replace!
Here is the final 1/2" hole. I drilled each hole with a 1/8" drill bit, then a 3/16", and then the 1/2". Not saying that's how it has to be done but that's the way I did it and the holes were precise and placed exactly where I wanted them. I'm building both wings at the same time so they are now both completed to this step.
Next I gathered all the pieces for the tank fittings but I need to run to Lowe's and get some blue Lok-Tite before I can install them.
