Its been a light week in the factory this week. No real reason beyond sometimes a guy just needs a break from the every day grind. I have been doing more prep work on the left fuel tank...there is quite a bit to be done to get it ready for the proseal/rivet dance. I also spent some time cleaning up the shop...it seriously needed it. So...its been capacitance plates, tank access hole, stiffeners, countersinking, wiring, vent line, flop tube, etc. I've slowed down as I'm going through a learning curve right now with some of this...this is the part I like.
I remember when I started this build, I didnt even know what a 'flop tube' was!?? That has to be the best part about building one of these buggers...to intimately know the 'guts' of an airplane and how it all works is pretty cool. Of course, thats coming from an Engineer, so not a real revelation there. :) I'll post some pics in my next post.
