Brief Description:  Finished fuel system.

Sent Gus an email asking him to send the mini nutplates and 17A bolts that were not shipped with the fuselage kit. Temporarily mounted the FT-60 sensor to facilitate fabricating and installing the pllumbing. Reworked the bulkhead to tank return line and clamped it to the supply side line. Worked out OK. I just hope there is enough slack in the tubing to hook up to the fuel tank when the time comes.

Made up the remaining supply-side pipes from 3/8" stock. That went pretty well and everything is hooked up. Torqued all the tubing fittings using the fish scale I bought this morning at WalMart.. Well, actually, not all the fittings. Left the two pipes either side of the fuel flow sensor finger tight to ease the permanent mounting of the sensor when the missing parts come in the mail.

Put away all the tools and straightened up the shop. Pulled all rudder and brake pedal parts to be used on page 27-02 and laid them out on one of the benches. Took the rudder pedal blocks to the house and found a fine tooth blade for the table saw that only cuts a 1/16th inch groove. Cut all three blocks down the middle, as instructed.

If the weather is decent tomorrw I'll work on the wood pile instead of the project.
