Brief Description: More progress on right tank
|
|
This morning after getting back from the pancake breakfast at the EAA 690 hangar at LZU, I mixed up a little Proseal and installed the 4 stiffeners that I didn't have enough sealant to finish on Thursday. Then it was off to Sandy Springs with Steve Ashby to see another RV7A project belonging to a builder named Jeremy Hull, a local landscape architect. He has his fuse nearly finished, with a lot of wiring, panel, and plumbing work done. After picking up the wife and visiting our Daughter in law in the hospital and eating a bite, I tackled the tank again, mixing up a batch of Proseal and installing the 5 interior ribs with sealant between the flanges and tank skin. To maintain the tank in as good alignment as possible, I also clecoed the end ribs in place, but without sealant. I clecoed the interior ribs in every other hole, and will wait until tomorrow to start riveting. I will also add a lot of Proseal to the interior ribs, at the edges and over the rivet ends.
