DRILLING ANXIETY OVER
Posted on February 8, 2013 at 9:18am 0 Comments 3 Likes
Thanks for the comments on drilling fuel tanks. It turned out to be "no problem." Used a 2" hole saw and opened the hole to 59mm using a drum sander
DRILLING ANXIETY
Posted on February 6, 2013 at 1:51pm 8 Comments 0 Likes
I am at the point on my CH 750 where it's time to install the sending unit for the fuel gage. I admit that I have been putting it off for fear of attacking that beautiful aluminum tank with power tools. I know you other builders have done it hundreds of times. I could use any tips on the tools used, keeping debris out of the tank, holding the tank steady, etc.
Thanks for the comments, this is my first airplane project.
