While waiting for some help attaching the nut plates to the main spar for the innermost tank attach bracket, I’m doing some other tank prep stuff. I spent some time fabricating the fuselage attach angles for the tanks, doing the rough cuts on the band saw and cleaning up with the stationary belt/disk sander, a small round file, and the Scotch-brite wheel. The band saw is an invaluable tool for fabrication. It’s probably 5 times faster than using a hack saw.
I’m not spending as much time on the project this week. I decided to concentrate on finishing up my private pilot license. At this point, I basically need to do my solo cross country time, a little more simulated instrument time, polish up my ground and performance maneuvers, and study for the practical exam.
