Considering all the lights and antennas in my wingtips I decided to attach them and the wingtip light covers using platenuts and screws.
I know someone on this forum posted a thread listing the hardware that needed to be ordered. I seem to remember the thread also listed an alternate screw that would clean up the install a bit.
The construction guide states that platenuts can be riveted directly to the fiberglass. Has anyone used a backing strip of alum with the platenuts? Working on the horz stab's tips leads me to believe that it would be a good idea.
Can anyone point me to that thread or offer comment? My attempts at searching for it have failed.
Thanks.
