Brief Description:  Right Tank Wing Root Rib

I've been tinkering the last few nights with the Root Rib of the Right Tank. I had to step-drill the hole for the fuel pickup tube and then place the locking-bracket in the correct location to hold the hex nut in place. Looked simple, but it took some thought. I had to look up quite a bit, such as the hole size for the fuel fitting, and then the proper torque for those aluminum connections. I found a super deal on an inch-pound torque wrench at Sears, so I bought it. Finally once everything was in place I added some pro-seal. I have things connected with two cleco's presently, so I will rivet that tomorrow evening. Hey, it's progress! At this point it's all I care about is making daily or weekly progress. I really enjoy my time building and it's very relaxing in a way. More to follow....
