Wings: Fuel tanks. Right wing fuel tank mounted.

I decided to redo my fuel tanks.  See here for why.  The entries specific to the redone tanks are here.

Right fuel tank has been mounted with the help of a generous friend. 



Prior to the mounting, the inboard leading edge rib rivets still had to be bucked.  I had been delaying this since I had a hard time with the left side and subsequently investigated different means for the right side.  I even tried a CherryMax but ultimately removed it since I wasn't comfortable with that approach.  However, this time I had no trouble using the same technique and double offset rivet set as I failed with on the left side.  No idea what the issue was the first time but I'm glad it's behind me.
