I fabricated the light side of the wiring harness today.
I wrapped the power board with some foam to protect it from vibration and stuffed it inside the light. I stopped by the hangar later in the day to remove the canopy and tried out the lights. Unfortunately, the right landing light was intermittent. I ended up tracing the problem to a poor solder connection on one of the LEDs, so I re-soldered it.
With the right lens almost trimmed to final size, I decided to drill it to the wingtip so that I could install it in the same place every time during final trimming.
Torquing the jam nuts on the rod ends used as hinges on the elevators and rudder require a special tool. I picked up a set of these offset wrenches from Harbor Freight yesterday and modified it to fit around the rod end. I cut a slot in the end and reduced the thickness quite a bit. I’ll try this out tomorrow and see how well it works.
