May 8, 2005 - Wing Tips |
||||||
|
It's time to do the wing tips. Right away I realized that the
outboard bottom skins need to be on to do this. I haven't riveted my
bottom skins on yet so I thought the wingtips would have to wait.
But clecoing the outboard bottom skin to the wing worked fine.
I fit the wingtip to the wings while they were in the stand. Worked fine; easy access. The wingtip inner edge needs to be trimmed in the aileron area. I did that and then the wingtip fit very well against the wing. I matched drilled the tip to the wing with #40. |

It's hard to see but the right wingtip is clecoed to the right wing.
