Work has been busy...  Since I need 3 or 4 straight hours to fit and seal the tank it's been hard to find that block of time.  Meanwhile it dawned on me the other day that I need to take the wing off the boxes before I fit or rivet anything since on those boxes the wing doesn't have the proper twist.  It needs to on the jigs.  I'll actually put it on 2x4's on the jigs since they need to be raised up a bit to provide clearance for the pitot.  But, as long as I level the two jigs we're good to go.  Precision!

Off these boxes it must come!

I wasn't happy with the results of my pitot line leak test the other day so I cut the surgical tubes and did it this way, blowing up the balloon via one of these lines carefully with the compressor.

The remotely blown up balloon.  Better than trying to blow up the balloon directly and placing it on the pitot (dumb way I think...;-)).
