Title: 24-3: Back on the left tip
With the right tip pretty much to the prime and sand stage, switched attention back to the left tip today. Sanded back the joggle on the tip and mounted the tip on the wing, confirmed alignment and then floxed the joint closed. Once cured, sanded flush to the tape, then removed and sanded the remainder down leaving just the slight edge filled. Reinstalled the tip and double checked the gap to the aileron. Shooting for 1/4” so that when I add the fiberglass close out, it should be about 3/16”. Also marked the trailing edge for trimming even with aileron. Cut the trailing edge with the pull saw. Installed the trailing edge rib and then mixed up some more flox to fill the end rib and adhere the fiberglass piece I had previously made. 1/29: trailing edge close out is cured so sanded it all down then proceeded with the reinforcement strips. Mixed up the flox and glued and clamped in place. Drilled only a few holes for alignment this time to avoid the puckering between the holes that I had on the left tip. It's a bit colder today so this epoxy is going to take forever. Going to clean the shop.
