Guys
The plans say to align the aileron, in its neutral position, to the flap when the flap's leading edge hits the wing rear spar doubler.
|
But doing this, the trailing edge of the FG wing tip does not align with the aileron.
What to do?

This is common. Fiberglass wingtips too high, too low, too long, etc. You may need to slice open the joint, bend and re-glue, or sand shorter or add glass to lengthen. Don't forget to clamp the elevator neutral during the aileron adjustments - they do move, in tandem, with fore-aft stick motion.

Bob beat me to my response. I was sying to assure the aileron and flap line
up. that is your priority, than I did as Bob mentioned I molded and shapped
the trailing edge of the wingtip to fit. I recall sanding and reinforcement
but I also recall clamping the wingtip to align with aileron (that was
clamped and aligned with Flap) and used a heat gun to soften the fiberglass
to get the last bit of alignment, than finally added some fiberglass cloth
to reinforcement that area. To this day the alignment is the same.

This is the reason I tell any builder who will listen to not fit the
wingtips until after you put on the wings (at least temporarily), really
make sure you have the flaps rigged right, then rig the ailerons. Do not
rely on the Van's aileron template for rigging. It will get you close but
not close enough.
Make sure you do as Bob says on clamping the elevators in neutral before
doing any flap, aileron or wing tip fitting. I chased my tail forgetting to
do that a few times.

Same problem on my friends RV-7. You can drill a hole in the tip on the side that's high, about 8-10" from leading edge, cleco, and push the tip TE so it aligns with aileron. Use a ratchet strap from wing LE to tip TE to hold the tip in place to drill and rivet.
We also used two ratchet straps to hold the tip to the wing.

I think that method works best. By having wing, flaps and ailerons
installed and rigged first, then you position the tip to line up, secure
it as best you can, and only then drill the screw holes for the tips.
