Hi Group,
I've read a few threads re landing light lens's but still have a few questions.
First, page 15-08 would have me attach the leading edge of the wing to the spar before page 15-09 has me install the landing light lens. I'm guessing its probably best to do the lens before attaching the leading edge to the spar, do you agree? Is there a reason I should attach the LE to the spar first??
Next, as far as installing the lens is concerned, Step 1 basically says the following- "Be aware of curled edges on the lens". What are they driving at here?
Then it goes on to say to place the lens on the outside of the leading edge (over the leading edge). I notice right off the bat that it fits over the outside of the LE better one way than it does the other way. I presume I should use the better fit correct? Here are two pics.
And final question, the directions essentially say to trace a line 3/4 inch. What about where the rivets will be, it seems that 3/4" is not an exact enough measurement to take the rib into account? See pic.
As always, thanks for you help!
