Wing Tip Install M-5

Does anybody know what the material of the droop wing tip is made of?

I have a new one I'm installing and wondering what kind of resin it's made of? Epoxy, Vinylester, Polyester, etc, etc. You have to close up the trailing edge and I"m just wondering what material to use?

Anybody have some experience with this?

Thanks,

Derakane 510 A-40 Fire retardant bisphenol-A epoxy vinyl-ester resin

hope this helps and you may be able to gleen some extra info from the mighty www thingy.

I googled Derakane and got a bunch of hits on the name.
