Before You Start

Special/New Tools/Supplies

  • You need #27 and #30 plexi-bits for this section.
  • You need a way to cut into the leading edge of the wing -- consider using some combination of: jigsaw, oscillating tool, cutoff wheel, Dremel tool.
  • You need some double-sided tape (the plans recommend 3M Transfer Tape F9460PC VHB)
  • The plans suggest you may want to paint the inside of the cutout with either gloss white or matte black paint.

Modifications to Consider

  • Decide if you want to mount your light directly on the bracket or install a bracket to allow the light to be tilted up and down. You can use W-00016B from Van's for this purpose. See this discussion on VAF.

OP52-03/05 Template Pages

  • The drawings are not printed at 1:1 scale, see this FB Post.
  • Note that as of Jan 2026 this free tool can quickly and easily split each page of the OP-52 PDF into two 8.5x11 pages that you can then print without scaling on your normal printer.
