Left Wingtip fitted

Spent a few hours fitting, trimming, sanding, and filing the left fiberglass wingtip.  It now looks like it fits very well, and has precisely 1/4 inch spacing between the aileron and the wingtip.  The trailing edge also lines up great with the wingtip.  We took our time and trimmed just a small bit at a time because it's easy to remove material, but very hard to add it back if you mess up.   We had an interruption in the middle of this work as power to the whole house was lost, but we were able to keep working after pulling out a generator and cranking it up. Hours: 3.5
