Turtle Report

The second wing tip has been fitted and glued up. The aileron has been cut down to size. After the glue dries on the tip I can clean up the edges and fit the re-sized aileron.

I did some more measuring and I calculate the new aileron area is approximately 6% of the total wing area. I don't think this will be noticeably different in roll response than what Paul's plane is....his aileron area is about 33% greater than mine and looks to be 8% or so.
It will be fun to compare the two planes and make in the field evaluations of each one and then compare them to Larry's version.

They all will exhibit adequate roll control and be much snappier than a wing warp system would.
