Wingtip day


 Wingtip day.  Got tired of riveting, so decided to fool with the left tip today.  First I trimmed the flanges, as directed by the instructions.  Next I rigged the aileron to neutral, taped the tip on, and snugged it up with a strap.

When I was satisfied that everything was positioned perfectly, I drilled and clecoed each hole.  I started at the trailing edge, and worked forward, alternating between top and bottom.  Im very pleased with the gap!

Next I marked the areas that flexed too much once attached to the wing.  Stiffeners will be added  inside for some lightweight strength.
