I am at present still undecided as to where the fuel tanks are to be situated. I had planned on only one in the fuselage but am now thinking gravity feed from the center section wing tank would be much improved. I will therefore plan on building the center section to take a fuel tank and if I decide later not to install one, I have lost nothing. Maybe gained some baggage space!!

(Later… I am going to use the wing tank as the main fuel supply and use a small header tank in the front of the fuselage to feed the carb).

I assembled all the pieces together to do a trial fit and all was well. I will need to cut the two inner ribs to accommodate the tank. The plans call for only one rib in the center of the front section.

The trial fit

The leading and trailing edges need some serious shaping

The floor being glued in place

Fitted to fuselage with temporary struts

The access cutout in place

Leading edge ply fitted, cut out in place so now all complete
