Brief Description:  Fuel System

Spent most of this time turning long pieces of aluminum tube into short pieces of aluminum tube. The small tube connecting the fuel selector to the fuel filter took 3 tries before I got it right. I also screwed up the flares on the two 27" pieces of tube so rather than order more soft aluminum tube I am going to buy the preformed rigid lines from TSflightlines. I think I can successfully make the small rigid tubes in the future for the wing roots, but the long one from the fuselage attachment point to the fuel selector just isn't going to happen.

I then continued with prepping the bushings for the flaps in section 32. Learned that my bandsaw blade was really dull (it needs to be sharp for this one) and this plastic does not grind well on a sanding belt. It needs to be cut exact on the bandsaw and finely finished with a sanding belt.
