There is a bunch of wiring and air lines that will be routed through the plane to the nose section but before I can tidy these up I need to install the fuel tank which is like putting a square tube in a round hole. First the tank has to be plumbed and pressure tested to make sure there are no leaks.

Behind my hand and in front of the tank I will need to make a perch for the air trap which goes between the turbine and the fuel tank.

In the top picture you can also see the hydraulic system for the main gear. It needed to be bled and is now tested and works great. Unfortunately in order to get the tank in I will need to remove it. This can be accomplished without removing any of the hydraulic lines hopefully.
