Next step is starting to install the landing lights on my right wing. Again this is the Landing light kit by DuckWorks aviation. Just like the last time, I lay out the template on the leading edge, aligning it on the rivet lines, etc. I then drill the four corners using my uni-bit to make some starting holes.
Next I transition to my harbor freight saw to make the rough cuts. I’m still having a little difficulty controlling this saw so I keep things fairly rough and then follow up with the pnumatic nibbler. Next it’s on to the files to get everything even and smooth.
I then fabricate the light bracket and get the angle aluminum trimmed to size and drilled, followed by getting the nutplates installed on the leading edge. Next it’s time to drill the lens attachment points and to get the attachment hardware all set up and preped for priming.
I also mask off the acrylic lens with painters tape and get it marked so I can begin trimming it. (More on that in one of the next videos). I did verify that my metal bandsaw blade cuts the acrylic well!
