Thinking about installing wingtip hinges. Read the excellent articles so far on the subject looks easy enough.
What hinge material is correct to buy from ACS?
Which VOR antenna from archer is correct for our plane (I think "model 1"), and I'll rivet the antenna in to the tip hinge to ground it.
The construction method pretty much guarantees a gap between the wing and tip equal to the width of the cutoff wheel used to take off the flange. Has anybody tried to mitigate this by cutting the flange a little closer to the wing side, thus leaving the flange to go a bit under the metal lip of the wing? The little flange would sandwich between the hinge and the skin..... Maybe I'm overthinking it and it would be too hard to fit properly like that.
