Brief Description:  Winglet inner skin prep

Finished trimming. Note I have only done one antenna, as I'd done one on the other Winglet previously, on the wrong side...

Fitted antenna dipoles, coax & torroids, fixing in position with hot glue this time. Fit coax into channel with urethane bond glue, secured with toothpicks. Tested antenna for continuity and insulation of dipoles.

Hot glued Aluminium straight edges to trailing edge undersides, then hot glued the straight edges to the benches, (individual this time), leaving at least 2" over the edge for overlap. Hot glued some wedges under the leading edge behind this area to eliminate movement.

Hot glued support blocks under the lower Winglets, and hot glued them to a small workbench, with a foam spacer betwixt.
