Brief Description: Trace Whelen Base onto Left Wing Tip
I measured 1/4" forward from the bend in the left wing tip and used this as a reference line for the back end of the position light. I then made a rough mark for a cutout that was needed for the center tab that protrudes from the Whelen base. Normally this tab will face up when the light is installed but I decided to flip the base over to trace its outline on the wing tip. Making this small hole to accommodate the tab allowed the base to sit flat against the wing tip while inverted. I could then use the base to match drill the fiberglass tip and to trace it's outline.
Left wing tip - small initial hole cut so Whelen base can lie flat while inverted
