G'day all,
Recently completed the final installation of the wingtips with lights, Archer navs, MB etc. Needed to trim the TE 3/8" - 1/2" to align with the aileron - not too bad. I did notice though that the aft underside of both both tips were extremely loose and wobbled like really bad oil canning (even with the closeout rib and fully screwed to the wing). Easily fixed by gluing in a foam support rib toward the trailing edge, but I was wondering whether others have experienced this?
Cheers,
Ron

Ron,
Mine seemed pretty sturdy but I went the hinge route instead of screws. I also fabricated an outer flush rib that fits inside the tip made out of .063 sheet that is held against the hinges and inner rib in the opening with two screws and nutplates on the inner rib. This conceals my hinge pins and makes the closeout of the wingtips neat and clean, no hole or recess and allows access to easily pull the hinge pins to remove the tip. Yeah I know...someone will want photos...I'll need to go through my vast files and reduce the image so I can post it...

PS-I only had to sand my tips TE...they were one of the first batches sent out after Vans made the fix...or I just got lucky.

I got mine from Van's about a year ago, and I'm 1/16" long on the left and 1/16" short on the right. Will sand the left but I can't see trying to build up the right - maybe some leftover micro or something.

I found the trailing edge rib an issue. It doesn't appear to be large enough. I added a scab piece which helped a little.

The chord line on the wing tips should be 56 inches. My left tip was perfect and required no adjustment, but my right tip was 1/4" short at 55 3/4 inches.

Hey William,

Thanks for the pictures ... the nav antenna pictures and tie downs are even more of interest to us right now than wing tip length.

Later, - Lew
