| Subject: | Fiberglass droop tips? |
Hello Kolb builders,
Thank you all for the great help with my questions! Here is the next
one. I
was fitting my fiberglass droop tip on to my right wing end. The inside
of
the fiberglass tip is not the same shape as the steel end rib. When I
slide
the tip on the end rib, it will not slide back and make contact with the
leading edge tube, and there is a =BE inch gap. It is not possible to
spread
the tip at all, and the trailing edge does not line up with the trailing
edge of the aileron.
I have never worked with fiberglass, and all I can think is to try and
grind
the inside to try to gain more forward fit=85.an recommendations for
grinding
glass? I honestly don=92t know if I can remove enough glass to get the
fit.
Thanks again,
Nick Cassara

Any possibility of pictures showing the specifics of the problem? That would help
a lot.

Nick- One trick is to take some lipstick and coat the outer end of the wi
ng. press on the droop tip, remove, and look for the marks inside the fibe
rglass. The soft wax of the lipstick makes for a good transfer. There are
the usual cautions of explaining to the wife just where her lipstick went.

I have been think of putting the drooped wing tip on my MK111. I had put th
em on my Challenge 11 clip wing special and it made a big difference in bot
h speed=2C stall and handling is why I am think of installing them.
