When I cut the first slot in the wingtip for the aileron counterweight, I measured the location from a taped line indicating the edge of the wingtip. It worked. As a side note, the scribe lines on my wingtips were WAY out.
I kept thinking there has to be a better way. Tonight I found one.
I took a piece of poster board (dollar store... my go to for making templates). Cut it roughly the right size, but bigger then needed. Taped it in place, then clecoed that into the pilots I have drilled for the wingtip.
Then I drew out the counterweight.
Cut out the mark on the poster board, then clecoed that template to the wingtip. Drew it out, then cut.
It needed a bit more trimming, as I cut it small on purpose.
I think this is better... way better than using the scribe lines, and better than measuring and hoping.
