Tried to finish up the wings today. Began by removing the Right landing light lens, and taking all of the masking tape off of it and then cleaning/polishing it. th epainter made quite a mess of it. Got that installed with the fowm rubber sealer to keep the light area dry. Then mounted the right wing tip.Ed Hayden gave me a great tip about the countersunk holes and the paint. That was to use the rotary debur tool I have chucked in an electric screwdriver, and remove the paint inside of the dimples. Ed said that if you don't do this, when the screw tightens down on the paint that it will chip/tear out paint around the dimple. He's right, even with the paint removed, I had to be very careful to not cause any paint to be removed. I made a quick trip to Aerozona and picked up a 100 stainless steel 6R6 screws for attaching the wing tips. Got all of the electrical conections made in both wing tips. And tested verified that Landing lishts,Nav lights, Pitot Heat, and Strobe light all appear to work. The stall warning buzzer is NOT working. After mounting both wing tips I attempted to final rig the ailerons. I was concerned that I would have some misallignment with the wing tips when th eailerons were 'in-trail' with the flaps. It turns out that I do, but its not as bad as it could be. I thought I had the ailerons rigged, but just before leaving I rechecked them and it looks like I've got some more work to do to get them 'even'.
