I am drilling out and working on mounting the fiberglass wing tips on my Rv-8. I have the newer version of tips. Regarding the alignment: If you pass a laser light or chalkline along the trailing edge of the aileron matched up with the inboard aft edge tip, does the outboard aft tip have a designed curve downward, or is it designed to be dead on straight??? Seems a bit strained to place it in a dead on straight alignment. Hope this makes some kind of sense without a picture. I am aware of the instruction to put aileron in neutral position. Both right and left tips have this downward tendency/deflection?
