(Duckworks HID Landing Lights): Here are the landing light components ready to install.
|
First
thing I did was plug the wire connectors into the ballast, and then
attached it to the brackets. After that the light was dropped
into the hole and it's retainer bracket screwed in place. Then
the power supply wire from the ballast was connected to the
light. I won't worry about stowing the the wires right now.
I'll do all that later when I finally wire these things up in the
wings. For now, the wires will just get bundled together so they
don't flop around.

Next
I positioned the assemblies in the leading edges and installed the 4
mounting screws. This has to be done by sticking a screwdriver
through the cutout in the leading edge. Here's a shot from the
rear after its installed.

And here's a shot of the business end. Lines up fairly nicely!
|
After the landing lights were taken care of, next I scuffed
the paint around the Angle of Attack ports in preparation for
mounting. I smeared a bit of E6000 on the mating surface to make
an air tight seal and then attached the ports with the supplied
screws. As you can see, there is plenty of room separating the
ports from the landing light assembly (this is a commonly asked
question, including myself when I was considering the two systems)
|
And there you have it… the leading edges are pretty
much done! We'll be putting the remainder of Section 17 On Hold
though, since it involves attaching these guys to the Wing
assembly. We'll get there soon enough!
