Fabricated Landing Light Backing Plate

Now that I know the landing lights are aimed properly, I started fabricating a backing plate to close off the opening into the wingtip. I used some construction paper and made a template that follows the contours of the light exactly.

I transferred the template to a piece of 0.040″ aluminum and cut it out.

After some iterative sanding, the backing plate fits perfectly around the light.
