UPDATE: I did not have the tubing tools to do this now but there was a very good suggestion on the VAF forums. It was to install the Fuel System in Section 28 of the plans prior to attaching the side skins. Without the skins it would be a lot easier to access the tunnel.
UPDATE: See my blog entry for March 26. Prior to riveting the side skins ensure a nutplate at the forward part of the side skins is correctly dimpled. The plans are in error here.
Cleco'd the left and right side skins to the fuselage and riveted both of them paying attention to the note on the drawing that says "Do Not Rivet Here". All of the holes matched very well. Did NOT have to touch drill any of the holes. Section 23 in the plans will be history after Saturday. Am going to run out of things to do. Glad the finishing kit was announced today.
