The tip flanges were quite a bit longer than needed and there was no scribe line in the parts. So I measured and marked the rough cut of the left wing tip. Used a Japanese pull saw to make the cuts. Went pretty easy. Then used the permagrit bar to clean up the edges and get to the line I marked.

It actually fits up pretty well on the first try. I'd seen where people have to used ratchet straps and carefully drill and ratchet to pull the tip into place. Mine lines up with no issues. Maybe that is just the ziptips that don't align well but it thought I had seen it in -7s and -14s too with the stock tips.

Still needs a little shaving for perfect fit but happy so far.

12/24: Hours are a guess; I've been working here and there over the last month on the left tip but not making a lot of progress.

I got everything lined up on the left tip and drilled it. Thought it was good until I sighted down the tip and saw that it wasn't in the same plane as the aileron. It was not square to the end rib. Very disappointed. Also realized that I didn't leave a very good gap between the skin and the joggle in the tip. Chapter 5 would say to leave a 1/16” to 1/8” gap to be filled in with flox.

So, I filled in all of the holes I had drilled in the tip and filled them with flox. Then sanded along the bottom of the tip and tried to sand the joggle out of the tip so that if would sit better. Thought I had it all squared up pretty good and re-drilled it. It's much better, but not sure if it's as good as it could be. I feel like the tip itself is a bit curved. Maybe I can just sand that out.
