Default OMP Edge question

I'm at the point of building my OMP 47" 540 Edge (kit) where I need to put on the wing tips (ends) and I don't see anything in the kit that looks like a wing tip. Are these supposed to be light ply or balsa?

Rob, As I recall theres a end rib and a cap at the wing tip. And I really think I just used balsa. I traced out the wing cap and glued it to the last rib.

Good Luck your going to love this plane.

If I remember right I just used a piece of balsa sheet and cut it to fit the shape of the wing.

Thanks guys. That will work good. I have lots of balsa.
Dale, the conversion is coming along great. Almost done.

Yep, you are supposed to use the piece you cut out of the fuselage sheeting but any scrap will do as well. So are you doing the two piece wing conversion also?

Thanks Mike. Yes, I'm doing the 2 piece wing conversion. I'll upload some pictures tonight.
