Unfortunately, when I unclecoed the lens after taking this photo, I discovered that four of the eight holes had radiating cracks. I’m absolutely mystified as to why. Temp was about 100F, a plexiglass drill bit was utilized, and proper technique was observed.

So, tomorrow I get to order a replacement lens and run through the whole fitting procedure again later this week when it arrives. What a complete PITA!!!!

Airplane building 101, unfortunately…
