Thanks Alan and Pete for good ideas.
Since I built my wing with no tiedown mod too late for that. But the hole is
intriguing.
Pete, do you know if this is just a hole and relies on the strength
of the tip alone or is there any structure inside to support the wing weight?
I guess since you mentioned a tube, this tube probably extends to the outer most
rib which would help distribute the load.
I wonder if just a hole would be enough. The wing is not really that heavy at
the
tip. I do have an aluminum plate for the wingtip light so that would at least
distribute the bearing load a bit around the hole. But not sure the wingtip
alone is enough to hold the load. Can't remember if the spar extended into the
tip. I would assume it stops at the outer rib.
