Brief Description:  Started wing tips

As I was happy with the fairings for now, I started with the wing tips. I plan to use hinges to attached them, but first I need to drill them to the wings.

I needed to remove about 5/64 from the fiberglass flanges to get them properly seated. There is also a few cut outs for aileron hinge and skin brace. I mounted the aileron to check the alignment as I hear some of the tip comes with 'built in' twist.

The tips are pretty flexible so I inserted foam to keep their shape. When inserted they stayed in place by themselves and they fit really good and had no twist. They were a tiny bit too long, but that is easily fixed.

I'll to the hinges another day, I did discover that I do not have enough hinge material, I think I used one of the ones I bought a few years back for the flaps.
