Brief Description: Strobe pack and ELT mounts

Today I mostly finished the installation of the mounting plates for the strobe pack and the ELT. I installed the platenuts on the three strobe mount angles, then blind-riveted them to the longerons in the aft fuselage. I also screwed the ELT mounting plate to its mounting angles using Torx-bit #8 screws and Loctite.

Strobe mounting angles, ready for platenuts.
