Brief Description:  Wing Tip Hinge Blocks

Two more items on the wing tips that need to be completed. I began to work on the first one which was the wing tip hinge pin block that will be used to push the pins into the hinges on the rare occasions when the tips have to be removed. They will also secure the pins in place in order to keep them from working out and getting stuck somewhere you don't want them stuck (like the aileron).

I have some two inch nylon bar stock in the shop that is 5/8 thick which I will mill down thinner and use for the hinge pin block. I drilled one and got a close cut line with the #3 bolt hole ready.

The second item I need to complete the wing tips is some foam reinforcements that I will place inside the wingtips to stiffen them up a little. I played with shaping some foam I have and will pick up on that again in another session.
