I did not have a parts list when installing the tips. The tips are very light and flexible so I extended all the stringers just to keep the fiberglass from oil canning in flight.
The tips actually fit the wing very well. Happy building!

Gary, Nice fiberglass work. I am fitting droop tips on my Rebel. I sort of copied what was done on a Moose. The trailing edge was flexible on mine as well so I added a second support connected to the original one just for alignment purposes. The main spar I used .040, rear spar is .032. It replaces ...
