Fuel tank and top skins: 10.3 hours

Attached the right wing top skins for riveting and removed the bottom skins for access.

I then spent the majority of the time doing the fit and finish work for the fuel tank: trimming excess sealant, edge finishing, drilling holes for attachment bolts, drilling holes for nut plates in joint strip, opening p holes for #8 screws, edge rolling for fit, etc.

Finally Britt and I spent a couple of hours getting started on riveting the top skins on.

 

Fitting the fuel tank:

 

After some refresher practice we got a couple of ribs riveted.
