Landing light arrived this week from Duckworks (LL-DW-09). Got the 55W halogen unit - LED is tempting but pricey and the 100W seems more than I need - hopefully the price will drop in a few years and I can upgrade to the LED unit. Didn't think to take a picture of the whole kit. It is pretty complete though, and should be no problem to someone who's been working on a kit for a while.
I wanted to work on it right away while the LE skin is unfinished and off the plane, but I couldn't seem to find a way to put it on the wing and still have sufficient edge distance on the plexi. Spent a couple of nights marking and measuring and moving trying to make it work.
Here's the template on the wing while I'm trying to figure it all out
Not a lot of edge distance here...
Fired off an email to Duckworks while I was fiddling. He got back to me a day or two later - the answer is obvious. I had the plexi on the outside while fitting, but the radius is much different when it's inside. It's still snug, but there is sufficient edge distance. DOH!
This is from a later session - definitely adequate edge distance.
Finally abandoned the landing light since I hadn't heard back and dimpled the main ribs, rear spar and finished up the top skins.
Also test fit the tank after dimpling the screw holes to #8.
