“No bird ever flew nonstop from New York to Tokyo, or raced 15 miles high at triple the speed of sound.                                                                                                   
  Birds do something else.   They do not conquer the air; they romance it..”

Continued installing fasteners for attachment of the wing tip lenses. Drilled the nutplate ear holes and countersunk the rivet holes for countersunk rivets.

deburred and countersunk the lenses for #6 screws.

close up image of the countersink.

Next installed the nutplates with pulled rivets. I didn't like the idea of using the rivet gun on epoxy to set some solid rivets. I will use some epoxy to close up the holes in the pulled rivets. After painting this will all be smooth.

lens installed with cleco's in the nutplates, I did a test install with the tinnerman washers and a #6 screw in the corner.

Repeated the work on the other tip.
