Jun 18, 2021     Wing Tips and Leading Edge - (12 hours)       Category: Wings
Have been working on the extended wing tips a little at a time. The leading edge was the next thing to do on the wing but I had a work trip coming up and didn't want to start that until I had some time to work on it without interruption. As I looked at installing the nav and landing lights I decided that I wanted to make some doublers with plate nuts for that install since the extended wing tips are made out of all fiberglass. I was able to find the right floating plate nuts for the nav lights but had to order corner plate nuts for the landing lights. I also started fitting the landing light lens/fairing after fabricating the doubler so that I knew how that was going to work in the overall install. Last but not least I ran a fillet of Hysol along the edge of the wing tip fence and along where the fence joins the wing tip itself. This was all before the work trip. Today I started fitting the leading edge which requires cutting the supplied pieces and joining them together at ribs 5 and 9. I got the left wing parts cut and fitted. Will do the right wing tomorrow and then start checking to be sure I am ready to Hysol in those parts. Going to wait till I get in the Hysol I ordered before I start since I am running low. Those wing tip fillets used a lot and am sure that the leading edges will as well.
