I have two questions regarding the wingtip assembly for anyone who has gotten to that stage with their XL;
1. on page 6-w-9 there is a table of X/Y coordinates for trimming the wingskin. At the bottom of the table marked "wing tip rear skins" the X coordinate is 730 and Y (recently changed to) 395. I went to measure mine, but my "X" stops at 705. Thinking I had made a mistake I went back to page 6--w-8 and confirmed that the width of the bottom rear wingskin is indeed only 705mm. So how, praytell, did they come up with 730? there is no way you can have a value of 730 from the mainspar rivet line to the trailing edge of the wingskin if the skin was only 705 to begin with.
What I ended up doing, was to trim the edge flush with the end of the rear channel. Has anyone else come across this discrepancy?
2. The fiberglass wingtip; Are the flanges of the wingtip are supposed to be inside the wingskin? would there be any adverse consequences to putting the fiberglass flanges on the outside of the skin? after fiddling, begging and coercing the flanges inside and being completely dissatisfied with the results, I am considering putting mine on the outside, they just seem to fit much better this way.
