Wings

Misc...tanks, etc (3 hrs )

Leak test LH Wing Fuel Tank, and discovered 1 leak at inboard corner.   None along wing surfaces, including at fuel cap...or any of the fittings I've installed.
I decided to test LH tank now, since I was getting ready to mix ProSeal for installing the RH Wing's Fuel Level Sensor.   So...able to "patch" this leak with extra sealant.  Also applied sealant to several inboard corners on Right tank that looked "iffy" (might as well since going in trash otherwise)
RH tank with level sensor installed.   Added sealant to 6 corner locations, too.
Installed RH Fuel Level Sensor, and checked "up" position. Measured 32 ohms, so matched uninstalled resistance at this end of travel.   Need to flip wing over to confirm other direction.  Note:  I checked prior to final installation with a string tied next to float routed through drain opening...32 to 249 ohms confirmed full travel.   Installed VA261 and Plug.   I need to wait couple days for ProSeal to cure before air tests for both tanks.

Painted RH Landing Light inside area black.

Cleck'od  Flap and Aileron Gap fillers to LH Wing - perfect fit.
