Brief Description:  Right wing tip

Right wing tip

I made space on the bench for the right wing, removed the fuel tank and stood the wing on edge to install the aileron. I checked the alignment of the pivot brackets per the plans, drilled the aileron hinges up to size and installed the aileron. Then I checked the tooling holes lined up as they shoud and chocked the aileron into alignment ready to install the wing tip.

I plan to form the shape of the wingtips exactly to the wing by cutting some some high-density foam to a slightly oversized profile, wrapping it in ally foil, then squeezing it into the space where the two baffles will go. When that's done, I'll glass one layer of carbon on the ally foil and reinstall the tips onto the wings and wait for it to set. Then I can remove the tips and add layers of carbon knowing that the thickness of the tips and shape will be retained.
