Leading edge inboard rib and landing light: 7.2 hours

The work for this entry was carried out over three days 6/12-14.

The inboard rib on the leading edge has no pre punched holes and also has to be fitted with the joint plate for the fuel tank so getting it set up took some time.

I got the rib and joint plate lined up and match drilled with the skin.

The rest of the time was spent making the landing / taxi light cut out and drilling the mount holes for the landing light lens. I also started shaping the plexiglas lens for the light. My dremel oscillating cutter worked great on the lens. I will be using this tool to make the cuts on the canopy later.
