New fusalage parts

A while back I had the opportunity to get some new parts from Darin who had originally purchased them for his build a couple of years ago. Since he has moved onto an RV14 he was looking to sell his unneeded parts. So finally I scraped some funds together and bingo...I have parts for the future build.

Included are Longeron Dies for an RV7. An Andair Fuel Selector with the banjo fittings, Stainless steel cabin heat box, Matco parking brake, Grove master cylinders and some RV bits intersection fairings.

Right rib #6 - 2.5 hours

Feeling a bit better now that we did really great work on Mike's S51 project. I decided to tackle the proseal on the right tank. Same process as before. Access for bucking is much better. Still had to drill out and set 4 rivets. 2 where a bit to crooked for my liking, 2 where just too over bucked (due to using a different bucking bar around the filler collar, its a heavier bar and it needs less time on the gun than if the other bar is used).



Still messy and a big cleanup is required.
