Have finally gotten some real progress on the build. Part of my issue was that I wasn't impressed with the way the banjo fitting interfaced with the #1 rib and didn't like the rubber hose that was supplied with the kit (seemed to weep some which gave a fuel smell in the cockpit). So I ordered some parts to basically assess options I might have. I ordered a different type of banjo fitting and decided that the fuel lines would be better off using AN6 PFTE hose and fittings. So while waiting (I'm not good at waiting by the by) I fabricated the butt rib close out plates and the plates for the fuel gauge. I also purchased some carbon fibre arrow shafts to glue into the trailing edge of the wings to help stiffen them some so when I cover the wings with the Oratex, I don't have the trailing edge get pulled in and warped.

After receiving the parts and looking at how the 'new' banjo fitting interfaced, I decided to go with the one from Kitfox. I am still going to use the PFTE hose and transition the banjo fitting over to AN6 fittings. The good news is that now that I was able to see how things were going to work, I was able to actually glue in the fuel tanks. Tomorrow I can start making some better progress and work on installing the #2 rib along with the false ribs.
