Fuel lines

I fitted the short fuel lines from the tank that extend to the wing root. They pass through 2 ribs. Fitting the grommets on was the hardest part. I had a choice of 2 different fuel lines. One was rated to 250PSI and fitted the grommets well, and would last the lifetime of the aircraft. However it was extremely difficult to fit the hose over the AN attachments. In the end I use a hose rated at 50PSI, and will have to change it periodically. I've used hose clamps to hold it in place.

I still need to modify on rib hole with the Dremel.


Wing transport

This evening we transported the left wing and strut to the hangar. Tomorrow I'll take the right wing and strut down.
