Default RE: Quick Repair before the Nats !!

Well, thanks for all the suggestions.. I ended up using Randy's version with a couple mods.. After a couple beers and finally a F**K it attitude I started hacking away. I started by blocking up the wing and making sure where I was at.. I had 2+ degrees of wash in on the left tip.. I also had about .5 of wash in on the right tip.. I figured since I was cutting I might as well fix them both.. Using my zona saw, I cut a diagonal line from the hinge opening on the bottom out to the LE of the wing tip. I then twisted it to where I wanted it and wicked in some foam safe thin CA.. After the smoke cleared, I put in some thick CA and kicked it.. This locked everything in place.. Other than looking like **** I now have both wing tips at .5 degrees of washout, like the original design has.. A little spot putty, some primer and a shot of paint and it's done.. I did end up heating the ailerons and twisting them to line up on the outboard side but they seem to be staying put.

Thanks again.. See you in Muncie..
