What is the recommended way to drill some holes in the wing tips?

Thanks

I bought a red and green Marine Nav light for night from Ebay for cheap. THey are very bright and should work fine for wing tip nave lights. They are LED. Also Schucks auto store has all kinds and sized of flashing blinking strobe, again LED and very light low power, but very bright....just some ideas

Anything larger than a standard drill, go to a hole saw. Even the cheaper ones... like buttah

...assuming you mean the fiberglass tips... really any fiberglass

Hi Kess,

Just saw these pictures and recalled your garage images from some years
ago,
that felt a little low on space. To save space, I came across these stairs
which
save a lot on horizontal space. They're called alternate tread stairs, can
be nearly
as steep as a ladder, yet usable like regular stairs (face forward climbing
down,
carry some load, etc). even NASA uses them. I thought of using them as fire
escape stairs in the rear, cellar, etc for a new home build in a slim lot.
can be
made of concrete or wood too.

How'd you trim all the ballast around the waist? I haven't thought of
beyond planks,
side planks, tummy crunches, some biking, one liquid meal (a whole
sugarcane),
and it's still a toughie with a reasonably firm core. trimmed to 181lbs
from ~200
a decade ago, at 6'.

I’m 6’1/2’ and now 152lbs, down from 175. I had dental surgery for implants for snap in dentures that destroyed my appetite, and I had to force my self to eat. To kill my pain I took 5mg Oxy’s and red wine and napped a lot, flew very little and lost weight as I would forget to eat. Those days are gone now and have gained 5lb more in just 2 weeks, aiming for my 170-175, a U.S. standard FAA pilot, even though some in my gang are 260lbs. When I got lighter by 25lbs, the plane climbs faster. People here are blown away with the way a 20’wing thing can climb so fast and steep compared to Cessna’s and Pipers, except for bigs ones. I climb at 75-80 mph and 1200’ a minute and 6000rpm, absolutely best bang for the buck. I kept my Cessna currency to fly another buddies, but it’s too boring. The thing about the Gulls is in smooth or even light bumpy air they fly rock solid, plus if you want to change course just give the stick a slight nudge and your turning quickly with very little adverse yaw. I even traced out our airfoil on a piece of styrofoam and took it upstairs and compared to an early RV-3 wing being stored. Amazing, we are only about 1/2 taller. No wonder these things zip. Van has a good airfoil and we are like baby rv’s. This is the biggest rv building community outside Portland area and we have a group called the Black Jacks that do formation fly-by’s, and I want to get our 6 member Gull/Titan gang together for some formation flight, even find smoke color that matches our planes, 2 white, I yellow, 2 blue, I silver, and alternate smoke trails, just dreaming again, sorry for the very long rant.

How old are you? Was it a calcium phosphorus imbalance in the body? How did it happen? Have you checked your body pH levels? is Oxy an antibiotic short form for tetracycline or something?

wine can reduce cellular ph, sugarcane is nearly neutral in ph, and it also has polyphenols (phytonutrients) which have'nt been broken down by post processing food. I had half a cask of beer and half a cask of sugarcane juice this year so far. and a slice of apple pie a day.

Have a lot of cloves (4-5), mustard and cumin seeds; freshly roasted and ground; almost 4 teaspoons, in any gravy or curry dish you make at home. This will surely build appetite.

I already had three molar crowns by 26. Then a couple of years ago, a Chinese restaurant here tried a dirty trick with
some unusual salt and vinegar. It damaged quite a bit of dentene, while I only felt a red hot chili sensation and asked for some sugar. Most restaurants in my town here are oddly
unpatronizable. seems to be a racist thing. In this country, we don't have much of an FDA yet. But plenty of dentists with a lot of experience in a short time. I know two dentist couples and two more over two decades now.

Yes, I understand high latitude genes adapting to larger masses to conserve heat, over a few millenia. or what we fondly call Viking builds. My first boss in US was 6'4", Irish American, slim and as gentle as one can get. He must be retired now.

This ain't a rant; it's straight from the heart. Gulls are sweet and strong little planes, like David (& Goliath). Guess I'll just have to wait a little longer to fly one.

Get well soon!

IMHO, marine grade stuff will generally be better built and more weatherproof.

The obvious answer is with a drill.
There just fiberglass.

Happy Flying,

I just printed out the pages, as that might be a cool space saver in the new hangars, I just bought 2 to more to lease, as there is a waiting list for leases. Make money while the crooked stock market eats up us dummy’s with losses even as according to TV stock just raised a whole bunch, where is my money?
