After that I started drilling out the rivets to put in the correct rivets for the service bulletin for the aileron hinge. This is where I promptly discovered that I had lost the rivets that I had just received. I ended up ordering some new ones from Aircraft Spruce and I also ordered some wire at the same time. While I was waiting I ended up putting all the exposed wiring into some wire loom so that I didn&#8217;t have to worry about it rubbing on things and getting torn open and causing a potential short<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the next day the wire came in with the rivets that I needed so I ended up replacing the landing light wire that I had originally run. It was number 18. I replaced it with number 14.For some reason I started to really read into what I had chosen and I don&#8217;t know why. I went with number 18. Everything for these particular lights said to use number 14 that I could find, mainly because they are HID lights and they&#8217;re not LED. I might end up changing these out for some LED ones if I could find a ductworks compatible lamp but that&#8217;s to be seen in the future. I just put connectors on them and I believe I called it a night for that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I also worked on 3D scanning the NACA ducts that came with the kit so that I can put them in the rear tail cone of the airplane when I&#8217;m ready for doing that. I also came up with some AI-generated paint skis and I&#8217;m going back and forth between, I believe, the first one and the third one but I&#8217;m open to suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rv10.daviid.net\/gallery\/_data\/i\/upload\/2026\/08\/04\/20260804200923-2369b787-me.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rv10.daviid.net\/gallery\/_data\/i\/upload\/2026\/08\/04\/20260804200925-e64ac966-me.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rv10.daviid.net\/gallery\/_data\/i\/upload\/2026\/08\/04\/20260804200928-38a12a09-me.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_24458\"  width=\"862\" height=\"485\"  data-origwidth=\"862\" data-origheight=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yuCNGn0ByiA?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week I received some parts that I ordered last week, including: So this week I started off by taking the aileron off the left wing and relocating the clip that I had talked about last week.
