- When installing per Van's instructions, it is important to rig the ailerons before to ensure alignment with the trailing edge of the wing tip (note: elevator position influences aileron slightly).
- The Zip Tips are not as flexible as Van's and getting them to match can be challenge. There is a note in the RV-14 manual using a ratchet strap that I found helpful.
- If you have received Vans part W-1016, it will show you the amount of "bending" you will have to give the wingtip. Below is a picture comparing W-1016 to the insert that comes with the Zip Tips.
