I'm installing the wingtips with hinges again, following the general guidance of this fine article: https://www.kitplanes.com/attaching-wingtips/
I'm wondering how to end the hinges on the aft side where the W-412 wing tip rib extends down into the area of the intended hinge. I know that it needs to be installed web-in, so that the flanges stick inboard, permitting a screwed in hinge eyelet to secure the hinge pin.
I think I'll move the wing tip rib outboard enough so that the tip hinge half just lays on top of it and incorporate it into the hinge line. There will be a bit of a joggle when the hinge makes the little transition from the tip up onto the flange of the W-412 but I can't see how else to compromise it.
It seems from the drawings that there is an intention to rivet this part in place so it is fastened to the wing edge a little bit.
Has anyone done this differently that I could learn from?
