What a good thread this is!

I've got my wing covered last nite, but still need to add the decoration, ailerons and flaps etc. As per previous posts I left the wing tips of completely. I added 1/32 ply to last rib to stiffen it up for the covering. The monokote still pulled in the rib. Although I will leave it as is if any other builders are considering chopping the tips you'll need a stiffer rib. I'd recommend 1/16 ply or add a 1/4 balsa stringer inside, both top and bottom, of the rib.

That fuse will be a challenge to cover.

Tip stall thoughts. Ed moormans web page has an article on wing tips. I just looked at it again. The best tip to reduce outward flow is and end plate, a simple oversized rib glued flat against the last rib. Next best was a chopped tip then some others the worst being a rounded tip. I will probably try one of those end plates after I have some flight experience with the chopped tip.

Progress will likely be slow until after Thanksgiving as guest are coming and the list on the refrigerator grows nearly everyday. I'll post some pics when I get the wing finished out.
