Finished Installing Ribs in Fuel Tanks

Well it's been quite a while since I've posted anything new on here, but good news... all of the ribs are in the fuel tanks! Yes we have continued to work on the project, so don't lose hope in us. We've actually been making some pretty good strides in our progress! I've been busy with other things outside of RV building lately and haven't had the motivation to post lately but it's been too long since I've written!
These past few weeks we've been working away on the fuel tanks. These things are so much work! It's definitely messy work too. To have all of the ribs in is definitely a relief. We've had a few RV builders check out our work so far and they've all said the look like the shouldn't leak. Now all we have to do is finish the vent line and install the capacative fuel senders. These things are already almost complete so we should be sealing the tanks up soon!
To take a little break from the fuel tanks, we fabricated the pitot tube out of the supplied soft aluminum tubing. This thing was a piece of cake, we just double check how it is installed since you have a drill a hole through the main spar.
