Here is a link that is located on this forum.  It is a cad drawing done by Randy Smith.  There should be a lot of other posts on this subject as well.

I know windy sells a video for ''Foam wing construction" that focuses a little on carving and hollowing out wingtips and has great detail.

I could help ypu here but I don't have any pictures. You can pretty much leave the outboard tip Solid except for a place to add extra wieght. The in board tip can be split in half an both top and bottom carved out so you have space for leadout adjuster and then hollowed an glued togather and you have a hollowed block. In any case I think you can get the idea that the inboard tip should be lighter than the outboard,If I had a scanner I could draw you a picture Dang. Call Windy.
