Brief Description:  Fuel line, put in Pitot and fuel level senders

Bent the fuel tube as it comes out of the fues. Would be hard to do if waiting for the wings to be on per the plans.

Removed the flaps, ailerons and tips from the wings. Installed heated Pitot tube and connected tubes and wires.

With the help of Jim, moved some things around and then took the wings out of their stand and put them on the two EAA tables. Measured up the area I plan on using to install the wings and determined that it will be Ok, the stab will be tight, but I think another arrangement will be good for that.

Installed the two fuel level senders with Proseal. Used one of the 1 oz. things from Vans,

Tomorrow is the fuel tank leak test, either will take two hours or the rest of the life of the aircraft. We used to chase leaks in the Reno racer almost after every flight, and especially after the races. Learned a lot of tricks, but I have seen a leak that traveled over 10 feet inside a pre- fabricated spar and came out between two layers of 1/8" aluminum inside a bolt hole that was part of the wing mount.
