Manual Reference:  Wing Tip
Brief Description:  Left Wing Tip

I started fitting the Left wing tip to the wing. It amounts to a lot of small trim cuts until it fits reasonably well. Remember, you need a 1/4 inch gap at the rear next to the aileron for easy aileron movement. After a lot of thought, I decided to utilize hinge attachment vs screws. More on that soon. Right now I am getting the position as correct as I can.

Trace wing end onto foam, cut pieces out and push them into tip to hold shape while fitting.

Keep trimming to get a 1/4 inch finish opening.  Cut less and then file to final  1/4 inch later.

Tape wing tip aft rib into place to check tip shape vs aileron.  They should match.
