Dry Fit of the Right Wingtip Components



Located the parts for the right wingtip installation. Started with the right wing because it was already sitting on the table. Took a few photos. From the photos one can see how much the W-1204E-R Fwd Wing Tip rib has to be fluted to match the far outboard top skin edge. From the photos one can also see how the tip of the rear spar assembly has to be trimmed at the far outboard end to allow the installation of the the W-1204F-R Aft Wing Tip rib. It appears as though the Fwd Wing Tip rib will have to be primed (does not appear to be Alclad??) Edge cleaning and priming of the flanges of all wingtip parts will start tomorrow.
