Brief Description: Attach ER Fuel Tanks to Main Spar
Today was a day I needed. The wings were taking up my entire 2 car garage and I had no more room to work on the aileron and flap.
With that being said lets get started so I can move these wings to the wing cradle.....
I had extra primer on the fuel tank skin edges which I sanded off with a scotch brite pad. The alignment with the top wing skins and OB leading edge looks great.
It took quite some time to get everything tight but it was worth it:-) I used a manual phillips screwdriver so I could feel the screws getting snug. There are no set torque specs for nutplates so I tightened down until skin was flat. There were over 100+ screws and my hand was pretty tired. All of these screws made the skin sit flat against the spar flange and my end result was impressive! I will most likely use green locktite when I flip over the spar.
