| Subject: | Re: TINY LED beacon |
I added more photos of the installation.
The most challenging part was how to align the new lower beacon with the upper
beacon so it looked good and didn't drill into some critical component. After
much thought I decided to press a strong magnet on the outside location where
I wanted the lower beacon to be. Then using another magnet inside the fuselage,
it would align itself to the outside magnet.
While inside the fuselage I placed the magnet where I thought the location should
be but nothing happened. After unsuccessfully trying to put the inside magnet
to where I thought it should be I decided to just push the inside magnet around.
Suddenly the magnet slid from my fingers, went off to the right of where
I had it and locked on. The actual location was now clearly identified.
I marked the place the magnet indicated and drilled a test hole. The test hole
was almost perfectly aligned with where I wanted the beacon to be. You can see
this sequence in photos 14 - 19. Now I have a method of finding almost exact
locations inside the fuselage of something that is on the outside.
I hope to complete the installation in the next few days.
