I cut my tips dow so that they didn't bump up against the rivets.

I built the older (prepunched skin) 6A, I don't have
any fond memories on all the aligning drilling, hard
places to buck rivets. Probably me just remembering
the frustration. ;) So far I like building the 9A.
Wings are here waiting on me!

What tools should I use to shape and drill the wing tip lenses. Its not
clear to me what materials they are made of or that the canopy cutting rules
apply to these. I divied the part into two with a cutting wheel but it
largely achieved the task by melting rather than cutting. No problem so far,
but I think I will take advice before I go further.
Thanks, Steve

Steve,
I used a cutting wheel just like you to grind/melt my way through the rough cuts.
After cutting the lens in two, I fitted each half and marked out a rough cut
closer to the desired cut. Then I re-fitted and cut a little closer, etc. I
did the final trimming on a benchtop belt/disk sander to creep up on the desired
fit. Final clean up with a bit of sandpaper. I didn't have any troble drilling,
I'm not sure if they're as prone to cracking as the canopy.

I am working on the plumbing for my tanks and was wondering if it is
necessary to use a torque wrench
for getting the flared fittings correct? Is there maybe another technique
that works just as well?
Thanks,

If you go to www.parker.com and download their catalog for the 37 degree flair
fittings (I think they call them triple lock), in there you will find a
detailed description of the FFFT method which stands for Flats From Finger
Tight. And for -4 and -5 fittings the number is 2 for -6 fittings it is 1.5
for tube connections and 1.25 for Swivel Nut or Hose Connections. They also
list Torque values for each size fitting but they do NOT recommend using the
Torque method if the fittings have different types of plating or there is any
lubrication on the fittings and I think the aluminum tube has a different
value than the normal steel tubing.

My thanks to Dean and Gary for the input. I called Vans today for their .02 on
this topic and spoke to Ken ? (not Krueger). He was unaware of this phenomenon
and gave the usual "if the holes line up it must be O.K." quote.
Well, they do. Gary's observation on the design of this section makes sense to
me and I'm now confident that all is well.
Thanks again guys.
