Work to be done soon...

I've been so busy at the office lately I haven't had much chance to work on the plane.  Hopefully this weekend I'll get an opportunity to get a few hours in.  I'll need to move the co-pilot's wing off the tables and onto some sawhorses in order to work on it properly.  Other than a few bits of wiring on the wingtip, the pilot's wing is just about done and ready to be moved to the new hangar at Knox County (4I3).

Lights

Got the landing light from Zenith today. Its awfully small.



I am wondering if it will be bright enough or if I will need to put a second one in the other wing. I'll run the wires for a second one so I have the option.

1. Installed molex connectors on both wingtip lights and the landing light.
