Dec 17, 2014     Wingtip nav light reflectors; R tip rib, misc. - (4.1 hours)       Category: Wings
Most of my efforts tonight were in polishing the wingtip nav/strobe light reflectors. I borrowed several different cans of "Nuvite NuShine II" polish and went to work with a bunch of soft cloths. The polishing progression of 'F7,' 'G6,' and 'S' polishes worked really well, but I must say that after spending 40+ minutes on each reflector, my fingers and arm are now pretty tired. After they looked nice and shiny, I test-fitted the reflectors to see what they will look like under the lenses. Not too shabby! I can't wait to see what they look like with a brilliant set of LEDs in there.

Next, I prepped and painted the light cove on the L wingtip.

Finally, I riveted the R wing tip rib in place.
