This blog documents my efforts to build my own plane and obtain my pilot's license.

Fuel Tanks
Drilling out some holes.
Marek and Eva stopped by to see our progress. We're dimpling the skins.
Stefan has the tank sealant out and is starting to cover some of the rivets.
The ribs are in the tank and I'm going back through covering up all the rivets with sealant.
The tanks stood up to the soapy water/pressure test. No leaks.
Attaching the fuel tanks to the wings. The fuel tank is on the ground in this picture.
Wings are shown here with the fuel tanks attached. Next up are the ailerons and flaps. One more month or so and then will be taking the summer off to get my pilot license.
