Passed the fixture wire through the mounting hole. Crimped & soldered the power wires to the fixture. Sealed the connections with heat-shrink & riveted a strain-relief clamp to the spar tip (7V3-3). Secured the fixture to the fiberglass tip with two #6-32 mounting screws then verified that operation of the fixture by py adding power to the connector in the wing root bay.
Completed the installation by fitting & clecoing (silver) fiberglass tip in place. The tip flange slides ~20mm under the end of the compound curve of the nose skin. Could not get perfect alignment of the 7V9-1 or 7V9-2) due to the compound curves of the win tip structure. Will fill the gaps with epoxy fiberglass resin & micro-balloons to sand smooth.
