You can see the corner of the wingtip in the foregroud of this picture(ignore me sitting in my fuselage making airplane noises). I mixedmicroballoons with epoxy to make a thick slurry and globbed it in place,then sanded it smooth.Jack PhillipsNX899JPSmith Mountain Lake, Virginia-----Original Message-----

#2. John, as you will notice in some of my pictures, I didn't take the aileron all the way to the tip. I used what some call an "encapsulated" aileron. C----- Original Message -----

do you have the bottom air baffles under the cylinders? also I made some closefitting plates to fit against the rear of the heads to prevent air escaping atthe back and force it all down through the cylinder/ head fins with the exceptionof the oil cooler and tried to close any areas around the outside of thatalso.my single temp pickup is under one head bolt nut- when checked on the groundruns with a good quality heat gun the readings were within 15 to 20 degreesof the surrounding head surfaces. and mine never climbed over 290 in earlytesting.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

JohnI made the top of the wing tip bow to be flush with the top of the leadingedge. The bottom of the leading edge was tapered from the last wing rib upto the bottom of wing tip bow. I also added a filler block behind the jointso I could radius the corner.http://westcoastpiet.com/images/Chris%2 ... 559.JPGYou didn't ask but you will also need to taper the wing tip bow to thethickness of the aileron trailing edge. My taper starts just past the rearspar. I made the top of the bow equal to the top of the trailing edge soall I had to do was make one cut off the bottom of the bow.http://westcoastpiet.com/images/Chris%2 ...

Michael,Perhaps the photo you attached is an older photo, and this has already been addressed,but it looks like you would need some additional bracing at your wingtip. There was a recent discussion here on the List that brought up the pointthat the wing tip bow actually acts as a compression strut. Your photo appearsto show a wing tip bow that is even slimmer than the "plans" version. The structureshown in your photo likely will not be stout enough. It would be prudentto introduce a compression strut similar to those at the wing root and mid-wing.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2012 06:10:21 -0700 (PDT)

Rick - I went to whatever Polyfiber said to go to. 350? I had one problem withthe fabric on the top of the wing deforming the structure around the fuel tankhole. Hurt my feelings a little bit but I reinforced the woodwork and droveon. Jack's right: if the structure is sound you won't have a problem. I thoughtthe structure around the wing tank was sufficient but it obviously wasn't.The rest of the shrinking process was trouble-free, and was actually my absolutefavorite part of the build.

Michael and Chuck,Personal preference is as good a reason as any I guess. I think the ailerons extendingall the way to the end was more popular in the 20's and early 30's. Lateron as they developed more effective ailerons I think they started to endthem before the end of the wing. Some of the early Travel Airs, Wacos, etc. had"elephant ears" or ailerons that actually extended past the wingtip. So Iguess it was the thing to do back then.
