Removed the swashplate, drilled safety wire hole for the anti-rotation slider, cleaned it with scotchbrite and acetone, taped off the bearing and used a piece of r/c model silicone fuel tubing to seal the gap between the upper and lower sections. Sprayed with several coats of clear and allowed to dry.
Went back out to the hangar and re-installed the swash and control rods.
Installed the top spreader plate on the lower fuel tanks and temp installed fuel lines and sight gauge tubing in prep for leak testing all three tanks as a unit, still need to install the vent lines.
