1 hr. working on the landing lights for the right wing.  Also mocked up using an iPad Pro for the second screen.

M4 Rivnuts installed (after I enlarged the holes to accommodate them).  Loctite 277 was used as per the instructions.

Using the M4 x 22mm buttonhead screws and compression springs one of the landing lights is installed!

Close-up showing the compression spring.  Maybe use a sleeve to prevent the squeezing between the front and rear plates?  Does it matter?

Panel mocked up with the iPad Pro on the right side instead of a 2nd G3X screen.  I think this is actually more fault tolerant than 2 screen G3X screens due to the system software diversity.  It's not shown here, but Foreflight can have synthetic vision so my panel would have 3 different SynVis displays with completely different software: Garmin, GRT (Grand Rapids Tech) in the middle (which will also have air data) and Foreflight on the right.  Having the Pro on the panel will be Amazing because of it's large and gorgeous display.

NEXT SESSION:
  1. Remove wing skin to give me access to the wiring so I can wire up the landing lights and test them out.
  2. Waiting on some end caps before I can test the fuel tank.
