Installing Fife hoerner tips

[Jesse Jenks]

Starting to install tips. If I line up the upper surface of the tip with the
top of the wing (top of tip horizontal spanwise) then the trailing edge
angles down if you sight along trailing edge of flaperon and tip. Fife's
instructions say to use a straightedge along the top of the wing and tip. I
like the look of a straight trailing edge, and think it will look funny if
the tips sag at the trailing edge. Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks.
Jesse

Jesse,
It has been a few of years since I put my Fife tips on but I remember
there were some problerms getting them lined up. Your description sounds
familiar and I think I split the difference. My wings and tips are stored away in
my loft so I cannot get to them easily otherwise I would dig them out and
check for you. Also my tips are screw attached and are not attached right
now.
