Brief Description: Pitot mast, recheck fuel tank
|
|
I had missed some non-critical rivets in left wing under the tank skin overhang (rib to spar) early on, and it was time to fix it. Left tank was removed. While off, I placed 4 gallons of mogas and moved it around, checking for leaks - none. Fuel siphoned off, evaporated out (will have fumes for potentially years, so NO FLAMES will ever be nearby during construction), tank closed up. Re-attached tank, torqued all bolts. The million attach screws were next - I used a torque wrench to adjust the clutch on the cordless screwdriver and then just ran them all in. Lastly, I cut the wing hole for the Gretz pitot mast (have the Dynon pitot tube with AOA port), drilled out, primed, set aside for later install when lower wing skins riveted.
