Brief Description: Wing and Tank skin Installation
Today, I finished sealing up the fuel tank by installing the access covers and filling the one remaining hole -- a tool mark I passed over earlier. I used a 3/16 rivet in it. Then, I countersunk the first line of rivets on the lower leading edge, and dipping each in primer, pulled the rivets. In 72 hours or so, I'll test the fuel tanks ability to hold pressure. I plan to use the VANS aircraft method of a ballon and bicycle tire pump. Vans sells a kit for $6 on their website for this.
