Wow, It's been a while. Shortly after my last entry I woke up with my shoulder blown out. I think I slept on it wrong and an old injury flared up. Part of the treatment for that was no heavy lifting or other strenuous activity for a couple of weeks. I'm also giving in and going to P.T. to try to deal with this once and for all. That, coupled with Thanksgiving, family stuff etc. means that it's been about 3 weeks since I did any meaningful work in the shop. Getting back in the saddle, I only had about 1/2 a day before leaving on a trip, so I knocked out something I've been meaning to finish up for a while; Installed the nav lights and lenses in the wingtips, then took the tips to the hangar and clecoed them to the wings. This gets them out from underfoot and hopefully will keep them from pooching out around the edges again. A couple of years ago I picked up these RV9 FlyLed lights used on VAF. The lighting coves for the 9 wingtips are different that the 7 but I got them on the cheap and was pretty sure I could make them work. You will notice that the two sections don't meet in the jeep of the bend, but I dealt with that by putting a strip of reflective tape in the gap. Looks like it was supposed to be that way and should help make those strobes obnoxiously bright. This will get me in teh air and save a little $ but if I decide it looks a little to hillbilly, I can still go back and replace them with new RV7 lights without much trouble.
