| Here I am installing the static line and the ports on both sides of the fuselage. Its hard to see the white static line as it arc's over the bulkhead but its there. I decided to glue the static ports in because I see so many people having issues trying to rivet them. I have read many a blog entry about people who have glued them in with great success. |
 |
| Oh yea, I started the day out by getting the problem child gear weldment mounted. I think I installed it at least three times this morning as I worked it for a good fit. I was also able to get the fuel line run on this side but that was after I took this picture. |
 |
| These are the fuel tank vent ports that stick out the bottom of the fuselage. I had some fun with them by cutting the size of the "nut" down to about half the original size and then contouring it a bit. I think they turned out pretty good! |
 |
| This is the vent port again but this time I am epoxying some screen over the opening to prevent bugs from nesting inside. Once the epoxy sets up I will trim the screen and clean it up a bit. |
 |
| Here is the outside of the static line port. Looks kinda like a metal eraser head sticking out. A little hard to see with all the reflection so I put an arrow up to indicate the port. |
 |
| This is what the other side of that port looks like. I still have to clip the static line that goes forward to the underside of the longeron but I want to make sure the glue is set up permanently before I start tweaking those lines. |
