Wings :: TanksClosed up left tank
5 Hours
Today I went on a marathon work session to try and finish up these fuel tanks. I sealed and riveted the left tank baffle and then did the Z brackets and finally finished up by closing up the access hatch on the inboard tank rib. Everything went pretty smoothly as it was the second time I've done all this. Here's the left tank all assembled.
I continued with the leak testing of the right tank. I fixed the leak I found yesterday and then another one sprang up! It was also a skin-to-baffle rivet so I drilled it and wet set a new one. We'll see how it goes. I should be able to test the left tank in a few days after the proseal sets. I'm pumped to be this close to finished with these tanks!
