Brief Description: Fuel Pump, Filter, and Line Installation - Part 01
Finally some real progress on the new fuselage! I spent the last few evenings installing the Fuel Filter, Fuel Pump, and myriad of Fuel Lines. I was able to reused a couple of the old fuel lines, but I ended up just cutting, bending, and flairing mostly new lines for the installation. Its a lot of work getting all of those tubes going where they're suppose to AND actually fitting up snug when all's said and done. But, I'm happy to say that I think this second time around, the installation actually came out a little nicer than the first time! Let's hope that trend continues throughout the remainder of the rebuild!
I can easily declare this the first major accomplishment on the rebuild of Ruby Vixen II! Yahoo! It feels pretty good actually CONSTRUCTING instead of ripping a part finally. I spent most of the week focused on the new fuselage and I have to say that my attitude is starting to turn around and the project is looking up! Only 1150 more hours to go... ;-)
