RV-9A Fuel Tank Construction Log

Finished drilling
I finished match drilling all the holes in the new tank skin. I cut the hole for the fuel filler flange and drilled the drain hole. I also timmed the skin to the correct length.

Now I need to bend it. I pulled out the parts for the bender. I need to stop my Home Depot and grab a new and straighter 2x4 and the wax ring for lubrication! :-)

I'm really dragging my feet on this... I sure hope this skin comes out right as I really don't want to do it again. I was telling Bill this weekend that I'm kinda wishing I hadn't tackled this long range tank setup. It's been a bit of challenge. Hopefully once it's all over with I'll be glad I did it.

(Time: 1.5 hours)
