Brief Description:  Wingtip details

Did some more miscellaneous projects today:

1. Sanded several recently-filled spots on the R wingtip.

2. Sanded the filled nutplate rivets at the corners of the R wing nav light cutout.

3. Drilled out the wiring pass-through hole for the R wing nav lights to a larger size to accomodate the connectors and harness braiding.

4. Prepped and painted the R wingtip nav light shelf/cove with matte back paint. After the reflectors get installed, the only part of this paint that will be visible is around the extreme edges, in the slight gap between them in the middle, and in a small strip along the edges. But I felt it was important not to let the raw fiberglass show through, even just a little bit. Some builders leave those areas raw, and I've never cared for that look.

5. Installed the final 16" strip of fiberglass tape over the end of the Marker Beacon antenna in the L wingtip.

6. Prepped and primed the R wingtip rib.
