To: rebel-builders@dcsol.com

Hi all,
I'm just starting to get my first tip under way and find I can't make
it fit. In order to fit the leading edge rib at the front, and to
accommodate the taper of the rudder at the rear I need to trim off the
joining flange/s and would then have a butt joint between the two halves,
which I would reinforce with fibreglass tape.
Have I missed something? or would anyone care to comment? I've done
some searches and have found some negative remarks but not much detail.
Any input would be appreciated. Cheers Mike

I found that the two halves took a lot of cutting and fitting to make them
fit both the elevator and rudder tips.

Grit your teeth and go at it.

Don't forget that Fife still makes great rudder tips too! Saves a bunch of time and they look great!
No I don't own any part nor do I get any share of proceeds for this. Dave is just reluctant to use this site for selling.
