Drilling left fuel tank
Back from San Francisco, where I managed to pickup a 24-hour nasty. I started the evening off by cleaning things up a bit and rearranging the wing stand. I dismantled the right wing and reconfigured the stand to hold just the left wing. Having both in the stand is too much trouble... hard to work around.

I matched drilled the ribs and stiffeners to the skin. Match-drilled the fuel-drain flange. Riveted a few platenuts onto the right wing fuel tank attach angles. Dismantled the partially cleco'd right fuel-tank. I'm going to finish the left one then go buy a new skin. I also need to go have my tank baffle bent. Hope to do that tomorrow sometime.


(Time: 3 hours)
