Composite/Fiberglass End Pieces

My kit (delivered March 2020) came with a Rudder Tip that was not reinforced.

It was also misshapen on one side so I had to order a replacement. I will be putting a metal strip inside.

Thank you.

Sorry, Tsi.

Anyone have a "pre=fit" photo of the composite wingtips? I just want to see how others looked. I seem to have large gaps with the skins

(gotcha? no instructions noted on mounting the tip lights that I could find... another manual?)

Thank you

Elevator Composite tips - I reinforced mine with washers epoxied on the inside. Seemed to work well. Once you countersink those holes, the material seems pretty thin to hold up to a rivet pull. https://photos.app.goo.gl/qgtBvF8H6qcNeVLg7

Interesting picture, did your fiberglass tips not have any of the reinforcing strips for those holes that should be countersunk like I showed in my picture?

Not that I could tell - just the same thickness front to back.
