Worked on Nav/Strobe Lights

My Nav/Strobe Lights arrived from Aircraft Spruce today.  I used the adaptor plate and gasket and installed them to the landing/taxi light housing.  I hooked them up to the plane to verify everything works properly.  Holy shit these things are bright.  You can't be looking anywhere near these things when the strobes go off; it is blinding.



Next up, I drilled the rudder bottom fairing and installed a couple of 4-40 nylock nuts.



I anchored the nuts using a couple of screws and some safety wire.



I then mixed up some 5 minute epoxy with flox and covered the nuts to anchor them inside the fairing.  After the flox cured, I removed the screws and temporarily installed the tail light to ensure the nuts were secure.



Finally, I took one of the lights and installed a waterproof molex connector so that all of the connections can be made at once when installing the wingtip.  I was only able to do this on one of the lights before running out of steam.
