Reinforced Lower Side of Right Wingtip and Filled Right Side of Rudder

I decided to reinforce the wingtips by glassing in some foam rod.  I mixed up some epoxy/microlight/flox and bonded the rod to the inside of the wingtip and formed a fillet along both sides.  Afterward, I layed up a couple of layers of glass over each rod and then reinstalled the wingtip to put the right curvature in the skin.

I sanded down the filler on the left side of the rudder and then applied some filler to the right side.  I also removed the foam from the fiberglass tip at the top of the vertical stabilizer.  I need to reshape the tip a bit to fair it in with the rudder.
