If that was your post Randall, it really helped to succinctly identify the problem, especially the drooping tip. You will note that I removed the names to protect the guilty. Thanx Jeff for your input as well. Nice to know that a bit of filler is OK.
Had a great back and forth with Caleb at the big Z farm and he provided some excellent tips (and a big hug) which allowed me to get the puppy pretty decent in with an extra set of hands. And yup, I used a bit of the heat gun to relieve any residual stresses when I had everything pulled, pushed and rotated just right.
Boy, you talk about a complex surface! I dont think ill ever pass by an aircraft equipped with Hoerner wing tips without running up and ..... well never mind.
Thanx to all for getting me through another bump!

Thinking back on it, those tips drove me nuts. I was wishing they'd gone to some simple one piece fiberglass ones that would just rivet on. Cheap at any price! (alomost)
The wing root fairings were the other frustrating things for me to build! After building 4 or 5 different ones, I still haven't got them right. Finally gave up and put em on....

| Quote: | | Vic, Jon Croke has a pretty good idea about building the root fairings on one of his wing build DVD’s He said to cut the material along the spar line and splice it together. I did it on my new 701 and it worked pretty good. If you don’t have his wing DVD you might want to get it. Tommy Walker in AlabamaDo Not Archive |
