I started fitting my wingtips and found the right one to be about 1/4 inch short on the trailing edge in relation to the aileron. Vans says just build up the edge and finish. Anyone have this problem and what is the easiest way to lengthen the edge?

Lay up a 2 ply flat layup on your table with release agent. Cut a piece of this and slip it between the top and bottom trailing edges and adjust to the length you need and glue it in with cabosil mix. Let harden and then fill the top and bottom with chopped fiber mix to make it flush with the rest of the top and bottom. Finish as usual.

That's a switch!!! Back in the day they were an inch too long!! Gary hit the fix right on the head...much easier to extend than chop off!

My right wing tip was 1/4" short and I fixed it the same way as Gary said below.

Guys,
See if I understand this correctly. I need to slit the end of the wing tip and then slide the "2 ply flat layup" in the split wing tip... Then glue in, chopped fiber mix, etc.
Will the chopped fiber work by itself. Guess the concern is it's such a narrow point that it'll easily be broken off without the cloth base?
Thanks in advance. I'm going to lay up the strip but wait on a reply to slitting the wing tip before going forward.

I assume you are trying to lengthen your wingtip trailing edge? Works
great. Just be sure the slit is straight along the trailing edge and try to
use a cutter which will leave the gap the exact thickness of the layup. I
used a piece of trimming from the edge flange of the wingtip that fits under
the skin rather than a new lay-up.
