Completed sealing the tanks on or around May 5, 2015, but have been slack about doing the "paperwork". So, you can see it now in WordPress form at: http://pantherbuilder.org/fuel-tanks/

And you can see the construction details at: http://pantherbuilder.org/PantherWeb/Fu ... index.html

Thanks Rick.

Tony, yes of course. I have both parts ready to join, but have no room to do so until I get the wings to the hangar. That is why I am pressing so hard to get these tanks finished and installed. I see Bill up there in Greer doing just that now. I hope to get up there to see him and take a look at it before I begin that process.

Bill, you hear that?

Great info Dan, I used a welded aluminum tank with a cork and welding wire gauge on my first project so working with that black gooey stuff and a real sender unit will be all new to me to. You site is going to help a bunch.

Panther Assembly as of 1/31/2015

You can see the detailed construction narrative of the forward fuselage at:

Tonight, 1/29/2014, I log the completion of all parts on hand up thru the forward fuselage. This of course excludes the fuel tanks as I am hesitant to proceed too much on those until I get the official words and photos from Dan. I will however, be reading thru the BM and getting the parts ready to assemble, as I know the rest of the BM will be coming soon. I also need to order my "Pro Seal", Vans version, from Vans. Or, I might just take a rest. NOT!!

Today, 1/25/2015, I brought the "Tail Cone Construction" section of the PantherBuilder.ORG web site, up to date.

Now back out to the Cave to complete what I can on the forward fuselage. Man, this is fun.

I finally feel like I am building again as I am now punching holes in aluminum. Working on the Right side to the TC.
