Hi Guys
Just about to rivet the skins to the HS and my brain has started smoking again. The instructions now instruct me to trim the skins, and this is done (according to the manual) by trimming the skin flush to the aft section of the tip rib but not the forward section as a fiberglass tip must be riveted to this.
Firstly from what I understand there is no fiberglass that rivets to the HS, only the elevators and secondly on the plans it looks like the skin is trimmed flush to the flange on the tip rib as well as the root rib. Obviously there is overhang on the trailing edge.
I hope this makes sense
Thank you

Extract from the Manual
?When drilling is complete, remove the skins and debur all the holes in both the skin and the skeleton. Trim the skins to the preliminary trim line and debur the edge. See section 5 for tips on deburing. The outboard ends of the skins can be filed flush with the aft section of the tips after riveting. Be sure not to cut or file away the forward section! The fiberglass tips must rivet to that.?
