Today I completed the right wing. Bent the angles as specified in the instructions for the bottom wing tip panel and then installed it. It fit perfectly. How someone could engineer the compound curve in this piece and then have it fit as it does is something short of amazing. As you bend, the angles specified should be close and you will end up with a good fit with all holes aligning. Completed the right wing tip closeout by attaching the trailing edge piece. Match drilled the 6 holes after ensuring the edges were parallel. Then started closeout of the left wingtip. Attached the upper wingtip panels and then attached the aft tip rib and then the forward tip rib. Fluting of the forward tip rib took a bit less time. See the picture of the tip rib showing how I fluted it this time. Two flutes between the holes at the most forward location seemed to work best. Had two helpers today to flip the wing, Tom and Don assisted me as Renee is still in Seattle (spending money!!!!). Comes home on Monday. Seattle to Minneapolis and then a short flight to Moline. Should complete the left wing on Monday.
