DuckWorks Bracket

After cutting the bracket to the correct length and cleaning up all the edges I managed to get the K1000 nut-plates installed. I used the NAS1097 rivets again for this and light countersunk the inner ribs for the factory head.

Left Wing Landing Light

Tad and I managed to get the landing light marked and cut-out of the leading edge skin. We used the sanding drum to smooth out the radius and knock down any high spots, used a straight file to take the waves out, then a bit of scotchbrite by hand and then on the die-grinder to make it very smooth.

W919

Finished getting all the nut-plates on the W919 Attach piece. Using NAS1097 rivets of course!
