Skyking
Well we got the inboard tank removed and and it was cracked as we thought it would be. We had to remove the top fairing of the boom to access the hoses and tubing between the inboard tank and the middle tank. We hope to have it flying in about a week with any luck. One problem with removing the top of the wing over the fuel tanks was that at a previous time somebody drilled a few of the screws and broke off screw extractors in the screws. The best thing I found to do was to drill out the broken extractor with a small masonary bit with a sharp cutting edge ground on it. You must use a green stone to grind the carbide on the masonary bits or a diamond wheel.
Thanks to everyone for the help.
