Landing light install

Started work on the Duckworks light kits today, and got all the metal fabrication done, to the point of priming & assembly.  Cut and installed the template on the leading edge assembly (currently clecoed together off the wing), then roughed out the opening with a cutoff wheel in the Dremel.  Finished the opening with vixen file, mill files, Dremel sanding disc, and Scotchbrite wheel in the die grinder.  Cut, drilled and deburred the lamp bracket, drilled the holes in the ribs for the attachment screws/nutplates.  Lookin’ good.

Inventory continues

Completed inventory of everything except the giant bag of hardware.  Everything present & accounted for except that I received two F-902-R’s, instead of one -R and one -L.  Also, one short piece of bar stock (AB4-125X1 1/2X8) is extremely rough looking and gouged up…some sort of manufacturing problem, I think.
