Brief Description: Final Right Tank Pressure Test & Wing Skin Work
Today I completed the last pressure test on the right wing tank and all ok. The right tank had an air leak around the valve stem that screws into the fuel strainer socket (from Van's tank test kit). Both Andrew and I confirmed this using the soap sud test over the whole tank....twice! So I unscrewed the valve stem, put teflon tape around the threads, reinserted, filled with air, and let sit overnight....and all passed the test....no leake. SO NOW TANKS ARE FINALLY COMPLETE!
I then started finishing the edges on the right wing lower inboard skin...deburred all holes as well. Next session I will continue working on the other wing skins to prep them for dimpling.
