Jeff, what I plan to do is tape off the wing exposing the last 3/8" or so. then sand the balsa to the point where the tips slip fit on then epoxy in place. I will then match sand the balsa sheeting flush to the tip. When the wing gets glassed the glass will extend past the seam. Prim and paint the whole wing. It would not work well if using film covering.
