December 30, 2008 ...  I only managed to squeeze in a few hours of wing time today, but made fairly good progress. I dimpled the left wing leading edge ribs and Installed the last of the landing light reflectors. I then pulled all of the wiring for the landing light and NAV/Strobe lights, and installed Molex connectors.

January 3, 2009 ...  OOPS!  I mis-drilled the left landing light lense and had to make another one. I also drilled the lower landing light bracket to install the nutplates.

January 4, 2009 ...  I finished drilling the lower landing light lense mount bracket and installed it on the lense. I riveted the bracket using the same CCC-32 rivets that connected the nutplates.  The Lexan is great to work with; it is not nearly as tempermental as Plexi-glass so riveting through the Lexan was no problem. I will be using #6  screws to mount the lense.

January 5, 2009 ...  'More work today on the left landing light lense. I fit and riveted the upper mount bracket. Then came the great moment of truth ... Will the lense fit properly into the leading edge? ....
Shazammm!  It fits PERFECTLY!

All I have to do now is get the leading edge skin dimpled and I will be ready to rivet it to the wing.

January 6, 2009 ...  You may notice that I am picking up the pace on my project a little bit. I am sprinting towards finish line on the left wing. I am quite anxious to have the left wing done and be moving on to the right. I devoted all of my shop time today to dimpling the leading edge skin and cleaning up the inside with a Scotchbrite pad..
