Just a watch out for builders down the line...
If like me you have all the forward fuselage structure pulled out as you're making the fuel vent lines be aware of the clearance needed for the lower flange of F-768B where it meets the F-902 bulkhead.
It's not something mentioned in the plans, though I was always wondering why the 45* angle in the vent was there
Anyway, I emailed Van's asking if I could take a little material off the flange to allow clearance. Their recommend was this is structural so remaking the vent line is the preferred course.
It's been a while since making these lines. Get to freshin' up my tube bending skillz!
