1 hrs. switching the air lines and tying down the wire harness.

At this point I'm pretty much in a holding pattern until my tech counselor comes to give his blessing to the work.  He said he might be able to make it tonight, but I haven't heard back yet.  Hope he does so I can continue to make good progress.

When I thought about the how the tubes from the pitot are arranged I realized it made sense to switch the green and blue lines.

Since all the lines checked out it was time to tie the lines down.

NEXT SESSIONS:
  1. Cleco leading edge back on. I'll also test fit the fuel tank.
  2. Air lines in (started).
  3. Fitting and final sealing of left wing fuel tank.  Tank off and test for seal.
  4. Inspection of both wings by EAA Tech Counselor.
  5. Fuel tank on.  Just bolted at this point.
  6. Top skins riveted on (STRINGERS!).  Top skins of left wing need priming.  Fill rivets with Bondo.
  7. Leading edge riveted on (STRINGER!).  Fill rivets with Bondo.
  8. Rivet fuel tank on.  Fill rivets with Bondo.
  9. Wing tip assembly and light installation.
  10. Finish sanding of left wing bottom rivet heads.
  11. Finish right wing (5,6,7,8,9).
  12. Finally finish one of the composite tips of the elevator.
  13. Fill rivets of elevator with Bondo.
