Brief Description:  Right wing landing light lens

Ok....third time is a charm. The first landing light that was installed by the previous owner of the wings was found cracked when I pulled the cardboard off the wing leading edge. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't something I was willing to live with. A friend of mine Rick gave me a lens that he had laying around. For some reason the lens bend for the leading edge was too sharp and small a radius and didn't fit the leading edge profile well. So I took out the torch and tried to reshape the lens....I got it closer but after drilling the holes and fitting it there was still buckling in the wing skin. I decided to order another lens from Duckworks.

I received the new lens and cut and fit it. The bend was as it should be and the lens finally was fit and complete. Time to move on to other things.
