(18-5 step 4): Back to the fuel tanks. Our plan is to follow this process
as it seems a little less messy since you're not riveting when all the
proseal is fresh. So, first up is to glue the stiffeners
on. I mixed up 2 oz of proseal and then transfered it to a
ziploc. It looks like a lot in the pic, but it's deceiving...
it's not. Anyway, cut the corner off the bag and squeeze out a
nice bead around all the rivet holes, and down the length of the
stiffener...
|
And
then place the stiffener in position on the skin. After that, put
a cleco in every hole, and repeat… 27 more times :-)
|
I
also glued the drain flanges in place… this actually turned out
to be more than enough proseal… quite a bit of it squeezed out.
|
Ok, one skin down, one to go…
|
And there you have it… both skins with the stiffeners
& drain flanges prosealed and clecoed. We'll rivet these in
the next couple of days.
|
And since I've still got a bit of proseal remaining, I glued
and clecoed our anti-rotation brackets for our fuel return fittings.
