March 14, 2009: Safety Wire & Return Fuel Line







The safety wire and pliers came yesterday and after studying the EAA Video (http://www.eaa.org/video/homebuilders.html?videoId=11670888001) I moved fwd with the safetywire. The video was very good and the job went without a hitch.

Finished the Fuel Return Line and it was tough to get the correct length going from the fuselage bulkhead bracket up to the lower face of the F-1201B. I ended making 2 cuts to get it right. The end-product is a tube that is not as neat and straight as I would like, but I'm going to call it good. You can see from the photo that I've taped over the flaperon mixer arm to protect the fuel line. The space is tight and I did not want to scrape the tubing.
