Nav tail and pass through holes
Managed to get the nav light installed in the tail. After some sanding I realized it wasn’t going to fit. In order to save as much material as possible surrounding the nav light assembly I had to file grooves in the aluminum to accommodate the red and black wires. Worked out perfectly. Also I used an extension rod with a drill bit on the end in order to drill a pass through hole into the fin. This will allow the wires to make it inside the fin and on to the exit at the fuselage for connection. Lastly I drilled the pass through holes on either side of the fin for the elevator servo leads. I did run into some wood and hysol in that area so be careful when you make the openings.
