  Dec 10, 2012     EAA Technical Counselor stopped by to inspect Category: WingSkin

EAA Technical Counselor stopped by to inspect. He and Ken decided to glue foam on the bottom of the fuel tanks so that (a) they wouldn't rub against the skin and (b) we could get air under the tank in case water collected there. We also needed to change the grounding wire on the fuel sending unit to a screw rather than a rivet. EAA Technical Counselor also took the fuel lines to put a bubble in them to prevent the attached line from slipping off.
