Apr 10, 2020 3 started r/h landing light Category: Lighting
As you may recall, the boys had already cut some odd sized holes in the leading edges for home brew landing lights. I'm going with the FlyLed solution, so I needed this to be a more conventional shape.

Basically a duplication of the other wing. The hole is 1" wider than the Duckworks template to catch the 6" wide eclipse that was already there. It also goes 1" further aft on the top side. I still have 5/8" coverage on the sides of the lens and more than 1" on the ends, which according to Duckworks is plenty. Because the span is 6" rather than 5" I figured it couldn't hurt to beef this up a little, so I went with four #6 screws on 2" center spanwise across the top and bottom edges into .032" doublers which are holding the lens in.

Note- the wing is upside down in the attached photos. I've found it a lot easier to build this upside down.
