1 hr of final testing of the pitot air lines and starting to prep the fuselage parts.

I retested the pitot air lines by pressurizing them and soaping up the fittings.  This time no bubbles at all.

A new friend is coming over on Thursday to help do the final closing of the left fuel tank, so as to not waste time I'm starting the prep of the fuselage parts.  For now I'm going through each bag of parts, and pulling the plastic and deburring the parts.  When I'm done with the wings I'll pull the parts again, and clean and prime them (then back into the bags).

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!
