Mark Phillips did this in 2005 and also in 2008 and found a better way to do it....

Which size hinges do you guys recommend. I read that Mark Phillips used MS20257-3
I assume thats referring to the 1 1/4" as the Spruce MS20257P3-6
Or should it be 1/2" as the .04 metal strips?

Very clean and trivial to install/remove tips.
Wasnt too big a deal to install, maybee an additional 3-4 hours.

Only thing id recommend would be to use a wider hinge half on one side or the other so the hinge line is not visible.

Dont have any photos handy, ill take one next time i go flying.

cheers

I purchased 1.5" so they would protrude into the tip. The 1.250 did not quite make it with room on the edge for the rivet holes

We just completed the wing tip attachment using the piano hinge material. Not real difficult, just took some time to make the shims and rib needed to match drill the hinge. I did not put an extra rib in the wing tip. I really don't think it's necessary and just adds additional weight.

Looks good. Congratulations on your milestone. Those wings look great.
