Bottom of the wing is complete. Flaperon brackets are also riveted at this point. I can’t yet rivet the top skin in place because I still have to install fuel tanks and strobe.

Cork strips have been applied to the fuel bays to isolate the fuel tanks. Cork is also applied to each tank. The metal of the tanks can not touch the metal of the wing.

Fuel tanks installed. Each tank has a capacity of 15 gallons – 14.2 usable.

Holes were cut into the ribs for fuel lines and access holes were cut in the bottom of the wing for access and inspection of fuel connections.
