I didn't get much feedback for my questions about wing kit generally. Hopefully someone has something for this.
If making hinged wing tips, how long the hinges should be? Is 2x6' enough for both wings or not... I tried to Google this stuff out, but didn't find much measurements. And I think that this is worst thing about Van's instructions, there should be much more dimensions available -- but if you do it like plans, you really don't need them.![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
About the tips itself, as the fiberglass is pretty thich at that place, would it be possible to put fiberglass side hinge "upsidedown" compared to the wing side hinge. So that the "contact layer" would be on same level. That might make installation easier... or has everyone done this like this?
Extremely poor demostration of above:
Normal hinge:

Fiberglass side upsidedown:
