Building the Wings - The stuff of Lift

14/12/2008 - Fuel tank brackets, tank fitting and joint plate

Ok nothing new to be carried out today so I am just listing what went on. Take a look at the right wing & fuel tank for further details.

Once again followed the Dan Checkoway method which worked so well the last time. Good results again for this tank.

	Prep brackets and match drill to spar (check Dan's site for hole distances)
	Temporarily bolt them to spar
	Install tank onto spar and use straps to pull down into the correct position
	Drill inner rib #30 holes
	Remove leading edge and drill outboard holes #40
	Remove skin and inside ribs leaving both end ribs clecoed in place
	Drill the remaining brackets

The only other thing of note is that Team Spirit has diminished somewhat in size as the shall we say 'more experienced' members of the team have decided its way to cold to join in !!!!

So a mini space heater has been purchased 34K BTU burning propane at 0.7KG an hour. However it only needs to be running for 30mins and we can take our jumpers off !!! I would say that for a full days work its burning about 1.4Kg.

Now I just need to convince Team Spirit of the new Mediterranean climate in the garage

Nothing more for today...
