|
Thanks to all the positive advise I received I was able to get the tip to fit. Here's how:
I trimmed 20 mm off the top aft edge of the tip. This allowed the tip to rotate forward for a flush fit. The top aft tip edge now extends 10 mm behind the wing root. In this position, the tip's flat surface (where the position lights go) is parallel to wing rib number 6. To measure draw a line near the wing tip edge that is parallel to wing rib number 6. Then hold a level flush with the tip's flat surface and measure from that to the parallel line (see attached photo, 'measuring horizontal fit.jpg'). Also, vertically, I ended up with an angle of about 93 degrees; again measuring from the flat surface of the fiberglass tip (see attached photo, 'measuring vertical fit.jpg').
Thanks again to all the helpful people on this list.
Sincerely,
David
