Close up view of drilled fuel vent line

 
The plans say, "Drill the forward topskin to the panel, subpanel, firewall and lower front fuselage.  Then remove the forward topskin, and install fuel vent lines."  There is a reason for this order!

We had to replace the forward topskin, because it didn't fit properly (due to the right engine mount being incorrectly installed on the quickbuild kit) and we drilled it in the wrong place.  So we drilled it after the vent lines were in...and Bob got to have more practice bending tubing!
