Van's RV-8 Build. Ep 080. Fuel Tanks 25

Today I mounted the fuel sender to the left tank baffle, mounted the fuel pickup and anti-rotation bracket to the right access plate, and installed the left baffle... that's a big deal. The left tank is effectively buttoned-up and the right tank will get the same treatment today. Finally seeing the light at the end of that fuel tank tunnel! About 5.5 hours total in the aero factory today.
