Brief Description: Cutout Landing Light Hole and Rivet Right Leading
Again waiting for Bill and Mary, so went ahead and worked the installation of the landing light in the just completed left leading edge. Seemed like it will be much easier to do the assembly before I rivet the leading edge on the spar. Photo #1 shows the template taped in place just before starting to cut. Almost screwed up big time as I initially had the template taped on the inboard side of the leading edge rather than the outboard side - that was close! Photo #2 shows the initial cut I made with a cutting wheel in my dremel and photo #3 shows the cut out after it was all smoothed out. I also got the nutplates for the mount installed on the ribs that form this bay and on the mount itself. Then I primed the mount and let it dry. Then Mary and Bill showed up so Bill and I riveted the right leading edge together - again only one troublesome rivet that had to be drilled out and redone. Came out real nice. Making progress - need to get some electrical wire so I can get the wing ready to close up.
