Brief Description:  Fuel tank straps + fuel tank prep

- Finished installing the fuel tank straps to the fuselage with my wife's help. This step works a whole lot better with 2 people!

- Followed the Sonex instructions for prep'ing the gas tank:
- Used 2 taps to clear the tank fittings of plastic
- Rinsed the tank out with gasoline

- Began puting together the fuel fittings:
1. Don't the fittings in photo 2 look WAY longer (not including the strainer) than on the Sonex drawing?! Seems like an accident waiting to happen (long heavy thing sticking way out of a plastic fuel tank), doesn't it?!
2. And par for the course: all the fittings called for on the drawing were not in the hardware kit from Wicks. So I must once again order $3 worth of parts, for $6 in shipping!
