Brief Description:  Wingtips 1 - Initial fit, Right

I started with the right wingtip. I fabricated 8 each hole finders, using -3 rivets to center on #6 nutplates that I placed every 4th rivet on the outboard rib after riveting same with a squeezer. Unfortunately, the Avipro wingtips are slightly large in terms of wing thickness and also somewhat flexible, which results in scalloping of the fairing. After talking about it with Kelley Babin, who does composites for an airline, I think I'll try laminating a layer of graphite on the internal dimension, which will stiffen and tighten the fairing, and possibly make it fit better.
