Wing Tips

Kit Deletions

• If you go with Zip Tips, delete from the wing kit:
  • W-1015-L (left tip)
  • W-1015-R (right tip)
  • VA-193 (pair of lenses)
  • Bag 967 (lens hardware)

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. 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.
