3 hrs. over the last 3 days testing the right tank, re-testing the left (just for the hell of it) and bolting on the right tank.

Held the pressure for more than 24 hours before I disassembled the test fixtures. :-)

Figured I'd connect my newly simplified test fixtures on the left tank just to see if it's still good.  It was easy to connect so I figured why not.

And the right tank is bolted on!  Went much easier than the left.

NEXT TASKS:
  1. Final test of the wiring.
  2. Top skins riveted on.
  3. Leading edge riveted on
  4. Fuel tank riveted on.
  5. Fill rivets (use filler this time).
  6. Wing tip assembly and light installation.
  7. Rivet the one on the left wing's step rib that needs special handling (waiting to hear back from the factory on what to do with that hole).
  8. Finish one of the composite tips of the elevator.
  9. Fill rivets of elevator.
  10. START ON FUSELAGE!
