I really have to get this wing finished! I spent a while trying to get the fuel sender in the fuel tank, still no joy so I figured I would work on the other end.<\/p>\n

To try and cut a long story short the wing tip is not flat, it bulges out a bit in the middle so the nav light mount isn’t flat and so the light won’t snap onto it. I asked for suggestions: fibreglass filler, heat gun to reshape the tip, neoprene backing. I tried the latter and it didn’t make any difference so I went back to a straight mounting and I eventually got it on good and tight. I won’t tell you how I did it because it involved a LOT of cursing. Anyway, here it is

Rivet gun out, and the nose skin is firmly in place.

Lastly, a few rivets into the wing tip and the outboard side of the wing is complete.

Here’s a view from a bit further along the wing, I need to get i\/b skin folded in but first I need to get the fuel tank in. And before that, the blasted fuel sender inside the tank. Next week for sure.
