The left wing tip didn’t fit perfect so some adjustments were needed.
3 adjustments are needed for a perfect fit:
– modify the trailing edge to have nice fit in skin 8
– modify the fiber glass stiffener to correct the height of the tip near the main spar
– modify the flange so that the tip is level with the main spar
First I made a wooden mold:
Next I removed the trailing edge:
Put the tip in the wooden mold and created a new trailing edge with glass fiber and epoxy resin:
A small insert helps to shape the trailing edge:
Mixed some resin with glass bubbles:
First layer done:
Next I removed some material of the flanges so that the tip is level with the main spar.
With a strap I made sure the tip is at the correct location:
Alignment is ok:
And trailing edge is about right:
Next I need to remove the stiffener and reinforce the tip for the rivet holes.
