I am at the point of drilling the tips to the wings. Like so many others, I have found the small misalignment issue (1/8 - 1/4) at the trailing edge between the aileron and the tip.
I am using holddown straps wrapped from the wing leading edge to the trailing edge where the wing and tip mate. This has allowed me to pull the tip forward fully.
At the same time, it seems I can roll the tip a smidge to get rid of the original misalignment. It worries me that I have not seen any references to finishing up the alignment like this before drilling.
Will this result in the trailing edge matching but problems from the rest of the tip being misaligned?
Can anyone else attest to this working out this way?
Are there people who install the tips without modification and they are trouble free?
Thanks,
Dave Smith
