Brief Description:  Work on Right Fuel Tank

Starting on the R Fuel Tank. Lessons learned from building the L Fuel Tank helped greatly. I bought 4 more ratcheting straps and made some plywood inserts to keep the aft rib flanges from bending from the pressure exerted when I squeezed the skins around the ribs. It worked very well with no distortion of the ribs. I also made greater use of drift pins to help line up the skin->rib holes. All 7 ribs now clecoed in place. The tank stiffeners and the (7) T-912 Attach Angles were already made (made them for both tanks concurrently). I installed and final drilled the stiffeners. The Attached Angles were marked and clecoed in place on the R Tank Baffle. Now ready to match-drill the rest of the holes.
