Brief Description:  Wing and Fuel Tank

Started the day with countersinking the leading edge and skin rivet holes on the bottom of the spar. Didn't do the top since I still have the skins on that side. Afterward I began by making the necessary parts for the inboard and outboard tank ribs. Cleaned up the nose rib stiffeners and finished the forward tank attach bracket. Drilled the rivet holes for both inboard and outboard. Drilled the hole for the fuel line attaching the flop tube. Drilled the vent line hole. As I did on the left tank, I decided to make a support bracket for the flop tube. Since the line will be going up and down in the first bay, I didn't want the weight of the tube to possibly loosen the fitting through the rib. similar to what Van recommends for the standard fuel pickup. Will drill the safety wire hole at a later time, but before I close the tank.
