I will make fake lights for the wingtips at a later date. However the next couple of steps has me install the wing tips. I have sanded them down, gave them a good wash. I marked the location as to where the lenses will go, and made some balsa pieces to form the backing of the wing tip lights. I will epoxy these into location, before I attach the wingtips. This will give me a good hard surface to work against when I get to that stage.

Status: offline 		mate a high intensity LED works atreat as a nav light, they are really easy to use, draw bugger al lcurrent and really look the goods on a warbird as does a functional landing light.

Consider this. You come off the downwind leg, gear down, half flaps, turn on to base while lowering full flaps then as you turn on to fianls with everything down and dirty you can see that landing light shining. Quite a few of the guys here have their warbirds down up like that and they look sensational, the crowd really likes it too.

Anyway just my biased viewpoint!

Status: offline 		THe landing light is retracted into the left wing. It extends out then turns on. look closely you'll see it.

Status: offline 		Thanks for all the pictures and information.
I cleaned the leading edge up and it is roughly shaped. I needed to do this prior to getting the wingtips ready to install. I cut out the wing caps, shaped them and epoxied then to the end of the wing. I also inserted and epoxied the spar extension into location. When this is dry and cured, I will attach the glass, wingtip. Then the leading edge and trailing edge will be sanded to match.
