Day 29

Set fuel tanks aside & resumed Elevator.

Today we finished preparing the wing fuel tanks as far as we were able at this time. Installed some rivnuts in the skins for the inspection hatches. (Which we discovered we do not yet have those, so looking into that.) Organized, scuffed and riveted the various fuel tank brackets. After going over everything again, we set it aside for now until we are ready to assemble and seal the tanks.

Late this morning our undercarriage crate was delivered. Inside was a hinge bracket that had been on back order for our elevator. We got that back out and worked on preparing (scuffed) and clecoing the left skin. Into position. There are a couple of tricky brackets on this side that have to be placed. Tomorrow we’ll finish prepping the new hinge bracket and installing that and the lifter. Then set forth on riveting the skin and installing the end cap.
