I routed 1/4" poly tube through 3 of the tooling holes and ran the wires in separate tubes. Was cheap and very little work.

If not sure you will add lights, just run the poly tubing, and save cost and weight of wires. Just make sure tubing is large enough to add big enough multi-conductor cable to connect landing lights as wing wag, and or to synchronize strobes if you go that way later.

Well 5 hours to rivet the right wing and fit wing tip. ( and about six cigarettes)
Electric riveter still on one battery.

So started round two

So I’m either blind, dumb or to tiered. What happens to #1 aft rib at rear spar?

Love the wing work stands. Are you down to one bathroom till the wings are complete?

I think the attach plate is supposed to go on the other side (aft side) of the rear spar. Detail G on page W12.
