Searching the threads, I couldn't find if anyone built their tanks before assembling the wing frame and skins.
I have a vague feeling that I read something about it here but since memory is a faculty that forgets...
Reading the instructions and plans, I think it's ok to do so, am I wrong?
My concern is that the sealant I received in November has a 04/13 expiry date.
I don't want to stress with that date, and I estimate that if I continue with the wings, I'll be left with about one month only to do the tanks.
I average about 40 hours of work per month, did 40 or so on the wings and am about ready to prime and rivet the left ribs to the spars. (Right ribs just need to be drilled/deburred/primed). I guestimate I'll be finished the frames and skins by mid/end Febuary only leaving March 'cause I'll be away for work in April...
I don't want any time pressures... We all know where that leads!!!
Any suggestions appreciated, thanks
