If may suggest using a carbon tube to transfer torque is not a good practice, this is because the fibres run longitudinally, to transfer torque in a carbon tube it needs to be sold. Just a suggestion.

yes very good point, but too late now , so considering the torque needed to operate the ailerons is very little, yes my fingers are crossed lol

the first wing tip served me well as a proof of concept, but I will not use it since there were some mistakes . So here I am putting together another one exactly the same but hopefully not the same mistakes, took more care since it will be the final part, but learned a lot from the first, also 3D printed the gear box , not quite finished with some of the parts ex. spacer washer, , then will have to make 10.5 degree offset for the mounting on the rib, so far all going well

its getting there waiting for the servo mount on the print table, , this will be mounted on a piece of plywood between two ribs so I can remove the servo if need be
