Haven't been able to work on the plane much because of crisis' at work...   But I did further check the pitot lines today because I haven't been able to keep a balloon inflated.

So, I went at the fittings with soapy water and sure enough...  So, I'll re-flare the tubes (after cutting off the current flare of course) and the question is do I use thread locker or just teflon tape which online discussions seem to indicate is OK in air lines.

NEXT TASKS:
  1. Fitting and final sealing of left wing fuel tank.  Tank off and test for seal.
  2. Mark bolts.
  3. Fuel tank on.  Just bolted at this point.
  4. Top skins riveted on (STRINGERS!).  Top skins of left wing need priming.  Fill rivets with Bondo.
  5. Leading edge riveted on (STRINGER!).  Fill rivets with Bondo.
  6. Rivet fuel tank on.  Fill rivets with Bondo.
  7. Wing tip assembly and light installation.
  8. Finish sanding of left wing bottom rivet heads.
  9. Finish right wing (3,4,5,6,7).
  10. Finally finish one of the composite tips of the elevator.
  11. Fill rivets of elevator with Bondo.
  12. START ON FUSELAGE!
