To install my nav\/strobe light assy’s, I first made a template.

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With the ligt assy’s aligned and the holes drilled, I could go ahead and install nutplates.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also drilled screw holes for the wing tip lenses, and installed nutplated here as well.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The trailing edge of the left wing tip had cracked in the epoxy filler, so I cut it out and refilled it.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I still had to make the aileron stops. There are 2 ways of making these; either by a small alu angle riveded to the the aileron bracket, or by making a stop bushing on the control rod bolt spacer. I chose the latter..
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also superglued the spacer washers for the elevators together, making them much easier to install.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I finished countersinking the screw holes on the empennage fairing.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The last fuel lines was made, connecting the tanks to the fuselage.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The small tube is the vent line.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The final step before removing the wings again for paint, was to trim and matchdrill the wing root fairings.
\nOnce the wings are removed again, I need to install a bunch of nutplates for these screws.
