I come back to the well of Cub knowledge…

The compound curved leading edge skin on the tip of the wing: does that overlap the inboard skin or does it the inboard skin go over the top of the compound curve skin? The reason I ask is because comparing the new wings (new everything), to the old wings that are currently on and flying, when looking down the leading edge (at that skin junction) it juts out some prior to curving back. My thinking, if one were to, on the new wings, put the tip skin under the inboard skin, this would eliminate the odd sight line. Has anybody done this or am I just not thinking this sufficiently through?

Thanks,

Zach
