Wings


Today I started the landing light on the right wing. With the experience gained from the left wing it seems quite a bit easier so far. I used the template to mark off the cutout and then drilled a 7/8" hole with the Unibit and again used the nibbler to cut the hole in the wing. I left about 1/4" all the way around and then used my files to trim it to the proper size. When I got it cut and trimmed to the proper lines I put the template on again to check the size. This time it turned out to be practically perfect. I used fine sandpaper and a scotchbrite pad to deburr and smooth the edges all the way around.
