2 hrs. finishing up the wiring for the lights, testing the lights, putting in the bolts for the 2nd rib in from the root and starting to thread the air lines for the pitot.

My EAA Tech Counselor might be coming tomorrow sometime, so that's good for my continued progress.

Red position light works!  Strobe also works.

The landing lights also work.  So all wiring is good!   Realized I never got the necessary landing light mounting plates from Gordon, so that will have to wait until I can get those (and nibble them out to size).

Waiting for more grommets, but I started to thread the air lines for the pitot.  Green is the pitot line and blue is the AOA line.

And this is how they will connect to the pitot.

NEXT SESSIONS:
  1. Tie down the wiring.
  2. Cleco leading edge back on. 
  3. Air lines in (started).
  4. Fitting and final sealing of left wing fuel tank.  Tank off and test for seal.
  5. Inspection of both wings by EAA Tech Counselor.
  6. Fuel tank on.  Just bolted at this point.
  7. Top skins riveted on (STRINGERS!).  Top skins of left wing need priming.  Fill rivets with Bondo.
  8. Leading edge riveted on (STRINGER!).  Fill rivets with Bondo.
  9. Rivet fuel tank on.  Fill rivets with Bondo.
  10. Wing tip assembly and light installation.
