I don't have the answer at hand myself, but seem to remember it being discussed at FSDeveloper.com

The solution to this was to make the textures double sided within gmax under the texture properties. Hope this help others.

Thanks Craig.

Didnt know you could do that..

Without having had that issue myself, I would suppose using a double-sided material is a workaround but not a fix.
Sounds as if your normals are mirrored or kaputt.
I would check that and probably mirror faces, reset xform, attach the wingtip to another (intact) part, something like that.
