Brief Description: Primed Skins, Leak Test Right Tank
I primed all of the wing skins except the two bottom left wing skins. Pete Timbie (RV 6 builder) stopped by and we leak tested the right tank. No bubbles, so we attached it to the right wing. The bottom joint of the tank/leading edge looks great but the top is less than perfect. It looked good when I did the trial fitting prior to riveting everything. I don't think I will go so far as to drill out the rivets in the splice plate and add a shim, but I will probably pull the tank off and "massage" the edge a little-just won't do it today! A friend retired from the military today, so I went to his party. "Good times" as he always says. When I got home, I clecoed the bottom skins to the right wing in preparation for riveting tomorrow. Hopefully, Ginger will shoot while I buck. I may even leak test the left tank-keeping my fingers crossed for two leak free tanks!
