Brief Description:  Fuel Sender and Prime

Today, after much deliberation about the fuel sender problem, I went ahead and removed it. It wasn't nearly as hard as I expected and I didn't even ruin the access plate getting it off. Let there be NO doubt as to the strength of the proseal though. If the access plate had been made of thinner material, I couldn't have removed the sender. Anyway after taking that apart the weather had warmed enough that I could prime the skins that were readied earlier in the week. Both sets of top skins and the leading edge of the left wing. While it was drying, I dimpled all the ribs in both wings, including the rear spar and countersunk all of the holes in the left main spar for either the skin or where the ribs get riveted directly to the spar. When finished with that I mixed up a little proseal and re-sealed the fuel sender to the access plate for the left tank. The next session, I will most likely do a little more work on the left tank and see about the landing light in the leading edge of the left wing.
