REFLECTOR: Winglet trimming

[Steve Goldman]

Well this might be a factory question for monday but we'll see.

I got the winglets out of their billets today in hopes of starting on them.
I got stymied almost immediately. The manual calls for marking a spot 28" from
the leading edge at the bottom and 12" at the top and trim to the line connecting
those marks. Well I have more than 12" of foam at the top but I only have 27.5"
at the bottom. So I'm not sure what to do. The manual does say the important
thing is for them to be as identical as you can do them and since both are 27.5"
I could make them match up.

I took out the wing trimming template to see what the winglet foam looked like
next to it and they look short there too. (The curve on the inboard side looks
remarkably different too but the geometry when it lays on the wing could be
part of it.)
