Installing the Fuel Tanks |
|
|
Today I installed the fuel tanks to the wings. I first had to get all the AN3-4A bolts to line up with their corresponding nut plates on the Z brackets. That took some finagling but I got them all installed. I torqued all of them to 23 inch pounds and applied torque seal. Prior to installing the left tank I had to wire the fuel sender. I used 20 gauge Tefzel wire and ran the wire back along the bottom of the fuel tank to the inboard edge. Finally, I put all the screws holding the tank to the spar and leading edge in. I ended up doing the bolts on the right wing twice because I thought I had to install the bracket for the roll servo before installing the tank. It turned out I forgot that there are nut plates that the bolts for the aileron bracket go in to so I didn't have to do that after all. Oh well! |
