Worked on Trailing Edge of Right Wingtip

I positioned the aileron in the neutral position and then used a straightedge to mark the trailing edge of the wingtip.  For some reason, it’s made a little long and needs to be trimmed about 1/4″.  I cut off the excess and then filed back to the line.

The trailing edge of the wingtip was now much thicker than the trailing edge of the aileron, so I cut the web that was joining the upper and lower pieces.  Somehow, this caused the trailing edge of the wingtip to no longer be in line with the aileron, so I had to split part way up the side as well to allow it to shift back into position.

I mixed up some epoxy/flox and glued the outboard end of the trailing edge back together with a little preload in the direction the tip needed to move to be in line with the aileron.
