01/06/2008 - Lost of fuel tank bits !

A few more hours in the garage meant that all the little notches were cut using the dremal in the bushings to take the wire for the capacitance wiring

 

The inspection hatch reinforcement ring was riveted with its nut plates, and the anti hang-up guide tos stop the flop tube being caught behind the stiffener was fabricated.

 

I also had a go at my first lock wiring on the bulkhead joint between it and the flop tube, I thin I had better get someone to have a look at it before I fix it to the tank !!

 

 

Another modification is required for aerobatics and this is a little trap door that is required to stop all the fuel sloshing to the bottom of the tank when flying in knife edge attitude.  The hatch closes to stop the fuel one way and opens the other.
