Brief Description:  Trap door and Anti-catch braket

I sleep in a little today but when I got up my wife was still asleep so off to the garage I went. I needed to make a trap door for the bay that the flop tube sits in. This is to help keep fuel in that bay a little longer if you fly in some kind of unusual attitude, like upside down. They tell me unless you are going to do some really serious aerobatics you really don't need a flop tube. Serious aerobatics is not me, but it can’t hurt to have one. Maybe the next guy may want to pull some negative G’s. I also made a little bracket for the flop tube to ride up on so it doesn’t get hung up anything on the bottom of the tank. I need to close off the hole in the second baffle that I installed the trap door into still. I have just a few things left on my list to finish up this tank. I should be ready to start the sealing up process in this tank next weekend.
