Build a temporary cover for the fuel tank.  1) cut out a circle from 1/4
inch plywood the diameter to fit inside the opening.  2) cut out a circle
from a thin material, about 1/16 or less (fiberglass or aluminum) the
diameter to fit inside the hole in the skin.  3) glue or screw the two
pieces together.  4) Fasten it to opening with RTV and leave it until you
are finished sanding.  5) When you remove it make sure you get all the RTV
pieces from around the opening.

one thing has not been mentioned ...

sanding the wing.       OK, I know, take the caps off, but that raises
another question.

place I want to see it going.       OK, I know, put the caps on. Now we're
back to question #1.
