Fuel tank sealing and other right wing work

Sorry for the delayed updates.  At the end of September we worked on sealing both the left and right fuel tanks.  We sealed all of the tank ribs (except the end rib) and clecoed all of the ribs to the skin.  We're actually quite happy with the results but the sealant is smelly and sticks to anything (see the other post).
 
We took a few weeks off because of travel and other events.
 
When we got back to it, we returned to the right wing and attached the aileron and flap brackets.  Finally we did all the prep work (match drilling, deburring, dimpling and priming) for the airleron and flap gap fairings.
