Nose Rib 6SV4-3 is installed.
25.
Cut the Leading Edge Skin to install the Fiberglass Wing Tip 6SV4-3
COMMENT:
Some builders prefer to overlap the Fiberglass over the Rear Tip Rib to avoid
the reverse overlap as shown on V-9 . How the overlap is made is insignificant, overlapping
the Tip Rib over the Fiberglass tip may make a straighter tip!
TIP:
Look inside the wing by lifting the rear corner of the Top Skin to check the overlap of the
Nose Skin over the Fiberglass Tip.
Nav/Strobe system:
Install the Fiberglass Tip with the flat portion for mounting the lights at
90degrees to the Main Spar for correct light distribution required for night flying.
SUGGESTION:
Use the hand snips to cut the Fiberglass Tip.
RIVET LINE:
HINT:
Remove the Rear Tip Rib or reach in by lifting the Top Skin to firmly push the
Fiberglass Tip inside the radius of the Nose Skin to drill and Cleco the first few holes.
