In this video, I'm starting to rip out the main tank in so that I can completely rebuild it. If you've been following along you've heard me gripe about this tank leaking into the surrounding foam.
The first thing I did here was remove the airhart brake cylinders from the pilot side arm rest. Then I used the holes I cut in the top of the tank as a way to start the work of jigsawing the rest of the foam and glass sandwich out of the fuselage.
This is kind of a pain to have to redo this! But the fuel system is kinda' important in the grand scheme of things! So I want to make sure that it's redone correctly. (It certainly wasn't done right the first time! Yikes!
As always I invite your feedback below, or in the forums!
