RE: Pay It Forward Build Thread!! Sig LT-40 build
Tigerdude,
Here is what I will do. I'm not quite ready to glue the wing tip plate on yet, but I did enough prep and dry fitted the part so you can see what I will be doing.
Picture 1-4. This show the part as it comes. You can see the "bump" that is your problem in picture #2. #3 shows you gap, which you don't need to worry about because it will be covered with covering when you finish the plane. Picture #4 shows the part with the "squared" rough edge.
Picture 5 & 6. Basically we need to bevel the edge of the wing tip plate so it will fit better against the outer side of rib W5. #5 shows sanding a bevel on the wing tip plate. #6 shows this bevel.
Picture 7-12. These pictures show the wing tip plate in place after the edge has been beveled. As you can see, it will fit better against the outside of rib W5, and on the bottom of the wing it will not "stick out" along the line of the bottom of the wing.
I hope this helps you out. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other problems.
Ken
