Nav lights

The brackets for the lights.

Wing tips, nav lights

Finished with the removable wing tips. Started to figure out how to install lights and the magnetometer. The wingtip lights are supposed to be visible from all around, and therefore needs to be mounted vertically. I think I just use some leftover cuts from the ailerons and see how it works.

Wing tips

Tried different ways to get the tip on straight. To position the wing upright, strapping the tip on and using a ruler to adjust, seemed to work OK. The straps with the nuts is to be inside the tip. They are drilled without the tips in place, and they need to be trimmed a bit to make the most fwd hole to fit due to the curvature.

Riveted wing skin, wing tip

Finished riveting on the wing skins. The wing tips will be removable, using the Airward kit.

Ready to rivet on the wing skins

Riveted on all the brackets for the wires. Used m4 A4 bolts and loctite to fasten the clamps. Then I got into problem with the aileron pushrod. The hole in the wing is not at the right place. I had to widen it a few mm to prevent interference. I also had to trim the paddle a tiny bit to prevent interference with the ball joint.
