Brief Description:  Wing tip #3 and Wheel pants #14

-Figured out where I'm going to put the position lights within the cutout of the wingtip.
-Started by forming the base of the position/strobe lights on the right wing tip with clay. Might be kind of silly to go to the effort when a simple aluminum bracket or a less complex layup would do - for some reason this approach struck my fancy...
-I then layed 3 layers of glass and then peel ply'd.
-Then I sanded on the lower gear intersection fairings (wet micro lays down good, but it sucks to sand).
-Then I filled the holes and low spots with Superfill.
-Then I worked on cutting out the left wing tip lens. What a pain doing all those interative cuts to creep up on the final fitment. It is very close but not perfect yet.
