Brief Description:  Left Fuel Tank and Leading Edge

Countersunk both fuel cap fittings.

Clecoed the baffle to the left fuel tank skin and countersunk the skin to baffle rivet lines.

At one time I had entertained the idea of building outboard tanks in place of the leading edge, as I was doing with the Harmon Rocket. Since I would have to be solo to utilize extra fuel anyway, I've decided that it will likely be easier to and less expensive to buy or build a seat tank for any of the few extended range flights I'll be makng. So, I've decided to stay stock. To that end I went ahead with the fabrication of the leading edge by re-attaching the left leading edge to the spar and final reaming all skin to rib and skin to spar rivet holes.
