How you go about getting a good fit of the forward (fiberglass) wing  
tip on the 601XL?  I have a couple for problems.  One is how to hold  
the tip in place while drilling, as there doesn't seem to be a way to  
clamp it.  The other is that it looks like I'll have to trim the skin  
around the front of the tip to prevent it extending past the curve of  
the fiberglass.  Is this normal?  If I install the tip so that front  
of the skin blends smoothly into the tip, there is only about 4mm of  
space to rivet the tip.  I know this isn't very clear.  Trying to come  
up with a better description.
