Flap Frame Riveted and Tank Woes
I tested the tank this afternoon and one of the leaks is fixed and the second one is much better but still there. I don’t know what to do at this point as I thoroughly sealed that rear side of the baffle and even shoved sealant around the rib that was close to it. I went ahead and put some sealant on the outside and I’m going to have to research and see what my tech advisor says. I am re-testing the left wing tank which was good the last time I tested it just because I’m paranoid now. So far over the past few hours it has held pressure in that balloon so that is promising.

I got the frame or skeleton of the right flap completed tonight. Tomorrow I’ll start getting the skin put on it. I hope I have enough tank sealant left to do the trailing edge as it is asking for tank sealant. I might call Van’s to see if that 3M adhesive tank that they said we could use now is good for this or not.
