Brief Description:  Wing tip reinforcing

Made up some foam riblets to bond to the bottom of the tip inside to correct a pronounced dent on the underside at about 1/3rd of the chord, both tips had this dent with this the left tip being much deeper and evident, I assume this is a manufacture flaw - not serious but necessary to straighten it out with the strips

Began epoxying the strips with a 1:1 mixture of the glassing epoxy - wasn't sure this would bond sufficiently but clamped it all up with water bottles and some weights I could squeeze in to the wing tip.

Epoxied the foam strips in, first two per dent but remopved the second and placed the one strip at a wider angle to cover the dent and then applied a lot of weight and clamps to ensure a lasting bond...this too will be glassed in.
