Well, almost complete. I haven't tightened up the fuel lines yet as I have some stuff to take on and off and there's no point in tightening some but not all. This section went pretty quickly although I did put in a solid day working slowly through the chapter. I didn't want to mess up any tubing because while it's inexpensive (I'm sure) the kit only has enough to do what you're supposed to do. Anything mistakes and you are calling Vans and waiting a week. Everything came out nice and the areas where I tried to overthink things a bit were covered in the instructions. Happy with how it came out.
I also inventoried section 29 and read through the chapter. This is the last batch of parts that constitute what it takes to look like a plane. There's still the tank and the covers but they come some time down the road. After section 29 it will be time to put the pieces together.

| All the little parts and tools for fuel systems. |
 |
| Fuel line, return line and flow sensor. |
 |
| The fuel valve. Still need to prime the bracket and install it which will happen after the next batch of parts are primed. |
 |
| The fuel pump and plumbing. |
 |
| Finally on to the last of the sheet metal. |
 |
| Avionics shelf. |
 |
| Section 29 all laid out. A couple weekends of deburring and priming before they go on the plane. |
