|
Off to the shed this morning to fix yesterdays mistake.....thought I had placed the wingtip in the correct position, that is, centrally located inside the nose of the wing skin, and started fixing. Turns out I was off by around 1/4" and multiplying the error as I tried to coax the rest of the tip into shape. By the end I had introduced a substantial reflex on the trailing edge creating a mini,"up elevator".
I was initially tempted to make the adjustment by splitting the trailing edge, since you have to trim it to size in any case but was worried by the result Tim Olson ended up with (see his website for info) and decided just to do it again properly. In hindsight I should've packed out the substantially flattened tip with something to encourage the correct shape before commencing with the fitting.
When I re-tried the fit, I found a sweeter position 1/4'' away, but it was by no means obvious.
Today I'll be fibreglassing over the incorrect holes.
Something for someone yet to do this step.
