Brief Description:  Outboard end of Fuel Tank

Closed up the outboard end of the left fuel tank toady. I had hoped to get three ribs done but it didn't work out that way. The end rib took more time since I really wanted to make sure it was sealed. On the ribs you just have to make sure the rivet holes don't leak. On the end ribs they have to be totally sealed all the way around. I mixed up 100 g of sealant to start which got the two most outboard ribs in and riveted. I needed another 20 g to do the outside filet. I used blue painters tape to make a nice neat edge since this end has to go flush with the joiner plate on the leading edge. No point in taking so much time with the Z bracket alignment if you cant get this end to sit flush. Also took a little extra time to make the sealant look a little nicer around the inside of the filler flange...strictly cosmetic, in case anybody ever peers inside the tank.
