It has been a slow week this week as I've got involved in another aircraft project that is taking time; see
http://www.e-go.me/ for details. However, today I got down to installing the tabs that will support the firewall and the front fuselage cheeks.
43 tabs in all, so that's 239 so far on the fuselage. The front uprights of the fuselage cheeks don't need tabs as they will rivet to the sides of the firewall, a job for late in the build. I also brazed into place the two straps that will fasten round the top of the fuel tank - just visible in the second picture. Final job for the day was to install the capacitive fuel level sender into the fuel tank. Next job is to cut out the combing for the fuel filler tube and test fit the tank - then the tank can be stored out of the way until later.
