  • Skin overlap at rear spar/tip rib

    Does anyone have any pictures of the area where the rear spar, tip rib, and pocket rib is? Also how the skin lays in that area? There needs to be a narrow piece of skin from there to the trailing edge for the wing tip to attach to. Does that go under the corner of the last section of skin?

    There's a picture in Eric's manual, last page of the skinning section. You're right, a thin strip of skin that overhangs a bit outboard.

      Yeah, thanks. I looked at that but was unsure how far the strip goes under the main skin section. All the way up to the spar? Would pick up a little strength if it got wider and picked up the 2 rivets in the pocket rib. Just wondering what others were doing.
