Left Wingtip Lens and Cowl Prep

I couldn’t go down to the hangar tonight, so I worked on some of the pieces I brought home.  I finished trimming and sanding the left wingtip lens and drilled it to the wingtip.  I’ll have to install the nutplates at the hangar where the rest of my tools are, but other than that the wingtips are ready for flight.  There is still a bunch of finish work before I’ll be happy with these, but I want to put that off until the landing lights are aimed right, then I can do all of the fiberglass finish work and put a coat of primer on the wingtip.

Speaking of fiberglass finish work, I resumed work on the cowl to get it ready for a coat of primer.  There are still a few spots that have pinholes, so I’ll be doing a little epoxy work before priming.  I spent a little time first with a file smoothing out little high spots and fixing a couple of epoxy runs.
