Tonight I got a lot of drudgery completed. I deburred all the holes and edges of both fuel tank skins. After that I removed the remaining vinyl from the rivet lines with the soldering iron. Next, I scored the mating surfaces for the sealant application on the inside of both skins. Finally, I dimpled the entire skin for the right fuel tank.
Tonight I took care of several odds and ends on the fuel tanks. I drilled the access plates, reinforcement rings and ribs, countersunk the fuel caps and started the fuel vent planning. Finally I set up the shop for riveting and deburring. I forgot to post the same evening, and as a result I know I am forgetting some of the things that I did.
Jack called my yesterday to see if I wanted to ride GIB on a flight out to Cambridge on the Maryland Eastern Shore. I had planned to work on the kit all day, but I make it a rule to never turn down a flight!
When I arrived at the airport I saw that Mike Bullock was flying dash 2 out with us. I tried to get the best pictures of him I could with my iPhone. The flight and food were a blast and both reiterated how badly I want to get this build done… I can’t work quick enough, as I was seriously jealous not being at the controls. With that said, its time to go out to the garage and work on the fuel tanks.

Here’s our destination.

Mike on the return flight. 
On the way out we almost overflew my buddy Denny’s house, so on the return we directly overflew it. Unfortunately I missed getting a picture of his house. 
Finally, here is a YouTube video of Mike and Jack’s formation takeoff out of Cambridge.
