I have a slight discrepancy in wing tip coordinates between the

chart on the drawing, 6-W-9, and where the spar and channel ends would seem

to indicate they should be. If anyone who has completed this stage is

willing, I'd like some finished dimensions as follows:

           "wing tip rear skins" chart, Y bottom, the drawing says 365mm at

station 0, 389mm at 790, with straight line between. My 0 station looks like

it should be 10 - 15mm shorter, and my  730 station 5mm longer than these

figures.        I would like the dimensions on other finished wingtips from

the rib 9 rivet line to the finished skin cut, bottom side, at these two

stations.

                I hope I haven't made this sound too confusing to

understand.

                                                            Thanks,

                                                            Lynn

Hi Lynn,



I don't have the dimensions handy, but I just finished cutting the 

curve on my top rear skin today.  I decided to use the ends of the 

spars as the endpoint of the tip rather than the dimensions on the 

drawings.  I was off by around 5 mm or so.  I think the front spar 

was 5 mm short and the rear channel was a little bit long.



I think you will find it is more important to have a good rivet 

spacing on the angle you have to bend to meet the spars than it is to 

have the exact wing length in the drawings.  I wouldn't be surprised 

to learn the drawings are off a little anyway.



Good luck,



Paul

Lynn,

  I just finished my wings and I found the measurements on the 

drawings weren't accurate for my wing tips. You need to have your 

aileron in place and shape the wing tip to the aileron. I just 

adjusted all the measurements based on the amount I needed to merge 

with the aileron. So (as an example) if you need to move in 5 mm at 

the rear spar, you would adjust the other measurements accordingly. 

Then use these new measurements for the other wing. Hope this helps.
