Thanks for the kind words, Rick.  They were a lot of work, but they do look beautiful, now that I'm done.  On to some more wing stuff, finally.



BTW, those strobe light/nav lights I mounted on the droop tips are for Beech Light Twins.  They are surplus Beech parts I got off eBay.  They are something like $500 each, new.  I paid $75 each.  The quality is exceptional!!!  I bought two sets.  One for the Kolb.  One for my GlaStar that I'll get back to building one day (when the MkII is flying).

      They may have been a pain for you to finish but they

 sure do look good.  It seems like everything I do in

 fiberglass I later modify or re-do.  I'm presantly

 building an engine cowling, for my VW engine, and hope I

 only have to do it a couple of times before I get it right.

  I am also waiting on the wing tips but not in need of them

 now.  I won't bug the Kolb guy's about them until

 there needed.

Dudley,Nice job on the wingtips! you mentioned having trouble with the Paint . I have owned fiberglass fishing vessels 42 to 46 feet for 30 years and have learned by way of bad experiences that the way to go with fiberglass is either GelCoat or 2 part epoxy paint Hope this helps in the future but my praise for your win tips  is reiterated. Chris
