    Default Scribe lines on the wing tips

    I have looked over my wing tips thoroughly and don’t see any scribe lines. Does anyone have a picture of the lines where I am supposed to trim the wingtips?

    They should be about 1" in from the edges.

    Are they on the gelcoat? The only lines I see look like they might be for a cutout on the front for landing lights.

    my wing tips were very lightly scribed. Your looking for what amounts to a baby fine hair type line in the gel coat. Mine were only about 1/4 to 1/2 in from the edge and they weren't consistent all the way across. I had to find the line at one end and stretch tape to the next spot I could find. In the end my tape was straight and I cut the excess off. Beautiful.

    If I were to do mine again, I would ignore the scribe lines and just make the tip square while removing as little material as possible
