Brief Description:  Started left fuel tank

Time to start the fuel tank. The construction is similar to the outboard leading edge. Ribs worked into place, clecoed, drilled. Then cut stiffners that fit the bottom skin - cut most to the wrong length accidently -@#$^!! I debated whether to tuse the slightly too short stiffners, but quickly decided to buy new ones and re-cut. $2 parts, $20 shipping and handling for 3 day service - ouch! Will serve as lesson to TRIPLE check everything before cutting. While I wait for the new stiffner L-angle to arrive, I proceeded ahead with the tank attach brackets - these attach to the rear tank baffle and then the spar (pic 3). A supplied jig sets up the middle holes to be drilled. All parts were marked in orientation after carefully studying the plans (and TRIPLE checking!!).
