Hi all,



Most have probably figured out how to make nice slots without drilling

countless holes in nearly a straight line. I used an Olfa Knife with a

straight edge and a little help from my friends needle nose vice grips and

snips. see attached photos.



Now for my question: If one adds auxillary fuel tanks are they identical to

the ones that come in the 701 wing kit or are they a different size.



Regards,



Perry

Nicely done, Perry

I too use this technique on aluminum, but when I read "slots" on the heading of your note, I thought about the slots on the firewall, for the steering rods.

  

(I have been working on that area, so it's natural.)

To make those slots, I used this tool, available from the usual sources:

It's fairly cheap at around $30, and works nicely - of course, it also works on aluminum.

Cheers



Carlos
