More flap work and fuel tanks arrived!: 6 hours

I got the skins, ribs, spar and hinge for the flap drilled.

The highlight of the day was the arrival of my fuel tanks from Evan's Aviation. They arrived via UPS in two sturdy crates. Both tanks were packed very well and had no damage what so ever from shipping.

I set the left tank in place on the wing and it looks great. There is a fair amount of fitting and drilling to be done but I think it will go fast.

The right tank will stay in the crate until the right wing is ready for it.

Un-boxing the left tank:

 

It looks much more complete now!

 

 

 

The right tank also looked great.
