Good progress was made today on the right wing. I had the help of T and N at times during the day. We first installed the landing light. That was a little tricky. We had to pay close attention to the instructions as the bolt to use is not the bolt the comes with the light. Took me a few minutes to figure that one out. Getting the landing light bolted in was also a little tricky. I can see how it would definitely be a difficult task if done after the wings were completed. It is not something that I want to have to mess with much in the future. While installing one of the wires came loose from the molex connecter. I replaced the connector and decided to place some electrical tape in a few places to assure that the likelihood of disconnection would be reduced. We then tried in the landing light cover. It fit nicely. I took it off for now as I do not want to worry about it getting damaged during the rest of the construction process. I will install it towards the end before getting ready for first flight.
After the landing light was installed we then worked on the upper wing skins. With 3 sets of hands all 3 upper skins and the doubler was able to be installed.
Time: 3.5 hrs
