Installed Wing Root Covers top and bottom- they fit well. Discovered QB Wings were missing 3 dimples at front of Top Cover structure. So I improvised a long reach to use my CS bit on those adjacent to Fuselage side skins (see pic below). Bottom Covers require extra bending around LE into final shape ( I pre-bent per instructions in 2017). Both the LH and RH Top Covers required minor trimming to maintain correct and uniform gap to Fuse skin. Otherwise, discovered RH Landing light doesn't work (LH is A-OK). I also temporarily connected Nav Lights one at a time...and determined LH Nav light won't come on, but RH Nav light trips Nav CB ! Stein Air's Christer helped confirm GAD 27 is working correctly for Landing Lights - so I need to examine other connectors. DRAT !
