Drilled Left Wingtip

In preparation for drilling the wingtip to the hinges, I cut a piece of XPS foam and inserted it between the hinges to keep them from flexing inward when drilling.

I installed the wingtip and taped it in place with some clear packing tape.  I drew a line 7/8″ outboard of the row of rivets holding the hinge to the wing and marked lines even with all of those rivets.

Finally, I drilled all of the holes to lock in the wingtip’s position.
