Left Wing Tip Sanding, Right Wing Tip Drilling (Wing Tips)
2.5 Hours

I sanded down the left wing tip. It looks and feels really good. There are a couple of tiny spots where the white is showing through after sanding, but I'll hit those down the road. I am super happy with how this came out given how warped it was when I started. I also taped the template for drilling the nav light attachment holes, but haven't drilled those yet.

I didn't take any pictures along the way, but I drilled the right wing tip (and metal backing plates) to the wing using the prepunched #40 holes in the wing. Then I drilled all of those holes out to #30. Finally, I drilled all of the nutplate attach holes using the nutplate template.

Next up: countersink all of these holes.
