Tanks Ready for Inspection and Sealing!

Published by olanandkate on

I went by the EAA tool crib today and got a flare tool so I could finish the vent lines and get the final half of the inboard ribs installed. Luckily that went off without a hitch and the tanks are now ready to be inspected! I called my wonderful EAA tech counselor and he has so kindly agreed to come out tomorrow to my house and take a look at the wings as well as the fuel tanks before I seal them up and then install them on the wings. I am also going to have him take a look at my pitot because of the damage I caused to it on the bench grinder when it accidentally got the electrical harnesses caught in it because of my lack of spatial awareness while I was trying to remove a small amount of material from the mast. I believe I can just re-sheath it in some heat shrink but I might have to reterminate them too which I’m good either way, I just want to make sure it will work properly. Either way, I’m happy with the progress and I’m excited to get these tanks sealed and installed!
