Jul 23, 2017     Finished landing light. Started out inboard top skin - (5.5 hours)       Category: Lighting
I crimped connectors to the wires coming out of the landing light, then polished out scratches in the lens as best I could and installed the light and then the lens. I ran a tap through a couple of nutplates to try to allow a little wiggle room for the screw where there's a hole slighly misaligned that might put some pressure on the plexi hole. Will keep an eye on it.

I riveted on the flaperon brackets in two locations. This was a good spot to use the old 12-inch #30 bit which flexes enough to be able to line up the holes without the drill rotor accidently scratching up in the inside of the botton skin.

After that I started on the top 1201 piece (inboard) and prepped the edges then riveted. No problems encountered.
