Started on the right tank, all of the attach brackets are done. Tank is back in the cradle, ready for all of the same prep work (drilling, countersinking, angle bracket, access hole, etc) I just did on the left tank. Pics will be a little redundant so I wont post many through this process. It is going much faster the second time around, not nearly as much reading and studying plans as I know pretty much what needs to be done. When doing new tasks, I think you spend about 50% of your time just reading and trying to understand the steps in the process. I think if a guy built a second one of these, it would go so much faster.
Funny story, my neighbors walked by while I was working tonight and asked about the project. I told them I was building an airplane...they responded, "oh, thats neat". Then they took a peak inside and saw the wings in the stand...and thats when they said, "wow, thats a real airplane!" haha. I love the misconceptions this hobby has with the general public...most people think you are building an ultralight or something. Yep, its a real airplane...and then some! :)
