Today we got two things done around the fuel tank. First, five wood blocks were added between Rib#1 and the fuel tank. These are added to prevent the rib from bowing inward during the fabric shrinking process. Three blocks were added to the bottom area and two blocks were added to the top area.

The rib also needed to be trimmed to allow access to the fuel access hole in the fuel tank. A Dremel with sanding bit made easy work of this. Tape was temporarily applied over the hole to keep foreign objects out of the tank. Hours: 2.5
