Day 10

We finally have the fuel tanks ready for sealing! We have all the hardware fittings all fitted and installed. (minus two that were missing but are now on order) We have all their ribs prepped, scuffed, cleaned and ready to go. We have all the holes clear drilled and de-burred. And all the skins are scuffed and cleaned.

We went around with a marker and wrote on the panels what rivets go where so that during the chaos of sealing and riveting we won’t have to worry about trying to figure out which rivets go where!

Or sealant even showed up today! That is so awesome!

We have planned to seal the main tanks mid week next week and then do the long range tanks once the AN fittings arrive.
