I've looked through the archives and have read where people have cut the aft end of the wingtips in order to get them to line up to the ailerons. Mine droop about 1/8 on one side and 1/4 on the other. Unfortunately I already riveted the ribs into my wingtips. If I cut the aft ends now do you think it will release enough with the ribs in place to make the alignment possible? Or will I need to remove the ribs? Of course one of the ribs is epoxyed and riveted into place. The tooling holes in the ribs are toward the bottom which I interpreted the plans to show so i believe the ribs are correct for the two sides. I did sand down the wingtip trailing edge to align to the aileron.
What have others done in this situation. I am building a 9A.
