Right Wing - Tank (1)

Because I'll need the leading edge assembled and mounted to the spar of the wing in order to fit the tank, I went ahead and reassembled it tonight.  As I was doing it, I noticed that the inboard most rib that goes under the joint plate got off center when drilling through the joint plate.  All of the holes are fine except for the very last two, which don't have the edge distance they should.  Van's has said before that a minimal edge distance in these locations is pretty common and not a concern here, but I've sent pictures off to them for this particular case just to verify before I just call it good.

In the meantime, I went ahead and installed the assembly back on the wing just to get it all out of the way.

I was severely lacking in the energy department tonight, so I didn't get very far on the assembly of the tank before my brain started misfiring.  I sanded down the nose of the ribs to even out the flanges (no leading edge skin bump that way) and started inserting them into the skin.  My head just wasn't in the game though, so I decided to hang it up and come back to it another night.
