So I flew the plane twice before I took her down for maintenance. Once I had the cowling off to replace the fuel pump, I couldn’t get those pieces into the back of the Tahoe quick enough to get them home and start fixing this beast.
While the cowling was off, I decided to pull the wingtips and the tail feathers. These were in a sad way and I knew I needed to get these fixed if I was going to be able to show some pride in my plane.

As you can see, these fiberglass tips were just drilled and riveted on with standard blind rivets.
