Brandon's 818R Build

[Bob_n_Cincy]

Finally got everything unpacked, inventoried, and hung all of the body panels out of the way. I have a lot of items still on order :/ so gonna have to kind of work out of order while things come in.

One question did come up. The manual says to cover the openings under the fuel tank when fitting the underside aluminum panel. Should I make sure to cover up the holes and the slots? Or just the slots? Not sure if any of these features are supposed to be a drain or weep holes.

I don't think the aluminum covers those slots.
I think the slots are there to let the gas out if you have a tank leak. I wouldn't want pooled gas leaking into the cockpit.
There are slots in the cockpit that I use as drain holes when it rains.
