Taking the advise of others, I moved to the fuel system in section 28 before proceeding with the fuselage side skins to have better access. Installing the fluid fittings onto the fuel pump and buiding the handle assembly went well following the directions. Take care to read the "red knob" directions and drill as per the supplied instructions. I almost skipped this part and was devising my own method when I thought to look again. Installing the fuel valve bracket went okay with the help of Wendy who held the bracket in place as I clecoed it from the bottom. Then onto the next infamous page on bending fuel lines. I resisted putting in an advanced tubing replacement order. Following the advice of Joe Gores (http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=39944), the intial bending went well and that's where I stopped for the day. I posted a question on the forum seeking input from other builders about how to torque in close quarters and how much flare do you flare.
