I balloon and soapy water tested both fuel tanks today and found no leaks! I am really happy this is over. I was a little worried about one of them but can find no bubbles and the ballon is still inflated and will stay on for a while.

Benchmark

Yep, the tanks and the canopy are both benchmarks for sure. A bad test or a cracked canopy have set many builders back months. Not to lesson your accomplishment, but I tested mine and I won't feel like I'm really done with them until they have made it through phase 1 without leaks. Same for the canopy, I'll probably worry about cracks for the life of the airplane....

Seriously! Good work!
