Wing alignment and landing lights: 5 hours

  • Made tool to check wing incidence per the plans
  • Right wing incidence was good. Left wing rear spar needed to come up.
  • Adjusting left wing incidence introduced forward sweep.
  • Unfortunately the left wing rear spar did not have any more room for adjustment so the wing had to be pulled out a few inches and the rear spar trimmed.
  • Removed the mechanical stall warner from the left wing - my G3X has angle of attack sensing so the stall warner is not needed. I will mount the outside air temperature probe on the stall warner access panel.
  • Started working on the landing lights. Used the Baja Designs template to cut out the bracket for each light.
  • Prepped and primed landing light brackets
  • Britt and I removed the pins and pulled the left wing out a few inches. I trimmed the spar about 1/16" and we put the wing back in.

The landing lights are fun to work with:
