Curtis, I also bonded on my wingtip on my 320. I felt the access
through the nav lens was more than adequate. I didn't add any bid to
the wingtip although I did use the structural adhesive. Be forwarned
though that there was enough of a gap (an 1/8" gap that was adhesive)
that later showed up after painting. I assumed it was the adhesive
shrinking over time or a response of the paint and primer. I used
the WLS primer and then the Dupont primer before having the plane
professionally painted. I had the plane done in basecoat/clearcoat.
Never had an adhesion problem with the paint but there were areas
that you could see weave and the aforementioned problem. Mostly
these areas could be seen though only if you knew to look for them...
