Brief Description: More work on landing light mounts
|
|
This afternoon I designed an adjustable plate mount to install on the Duckworks fixed mounting brackets that I bought a while back. Laid it out on AutoCad, and printed out the sketches on the inkjet printer. Using the paper printout for a template, I located the corner holes on the Duckworks brackets and drilled them, then sawed the lines between them and did the filing, sanding and Scotchbrite thing. I will have to order some T3 plate from Spruce or somebody for the movable plates that will hold the lights, one in each wing. None of the scrap that I have is stiff enough. Also, will order some AN hardware to mount them. Hardware store stuff would work OK, since they are nonstructural pieces, but don't want to have anything but AN or stainless anywhere in the ship unless it is called for.
Failed to put tape over the surface of one of the brackets before taking the saber saw to it, and the base plate of the saw scraped it up pretty good. Doesn't really hurt anything, it's just semi-speedy, i.e., half fast. I irritate myself when I do stupid stuff like that.

Holes in the fixed mounting plates. Guess which one I put tape on before using the saber saw. Rats!!
