Finish Kit (and others...for Final Assembly)

Fuel Lines between Fuse and Wings ( 4 hrs )

Attempted to install LH and RH Fuel Lines between Wing tank and Fuselage.  My tube bending tool doesn't all the "S" bends from one direction to opposite direction with the short straight length between - so those I made Dec 29, 2017 don't quite fit -- almost, but I couldn't coax them into alignment.  I got the LH to sorta fit by over-bending into a "Z" shape...but still required forcing.   So I contacted Steve at Aircraft Specialty - he's sending both (note from future: rec'd 17th)
 I did manage to get the LH one "installed", but
they weren't aligned (from other viewing angle).
 Since I couldn't get the RH this close, I decided
to simply order both from Aircraft Specialty.
