Brief Description:  Landing light, pitot line

Rough-cut hole in L wing for Duckworks light, using a Dremel with a carbide cutoff disk. Began opening up the hole using 1/2" sanding drum mounted in an electric drill, but they tend to wear out very quickly. Will buy a 2" drum sander this week.

Test-fit elbow fittings for pitot line (90-degree AN833-4D and 45-degree AN837-4D). Both will require washers against the ribs because these fittings were not designed for as thin an application as the ribs.
