Pilot drilled the hinge and the rest of the skin and tip. The skin was still too tight around the tip, so I trimmed the skin a bit. Still it was too tight, so I had to trim the tip as well. This time I only trimmed it so a thin fibre glass was left. After I reinforced it on the inside with two layers of glass cloth and epoxy.

H-stab and tips
The tips were a bit challenging. For some odd reason, the tip ribs have pre-drilled holes. So do the skin, but not the tip. The tip is to be sandwiched between the rib and the skin and this makes it impossible to line up the holes. I used my old home made hole duplicator and duplicated the holes from the rib to the tip. Then with the tip in place, the skin were way to tight and I had to cut off a bit of the tip to be able to line up the holes. This leaves a small gap I need to close with foam or something glued to the fiber glass tip.
