Hi Jerry and gang, consider some research before redesigning Homers'
wing. That wing tip that you mentioned as causing extra drag may also be hindering
the high pressure from under the wing from comming up onto the low pressure
on top of the wing, therefor distroying lift on the main wing area.

I understand the reason it is there. I would think at cruise speeds the need
would minimize. I was thinking Vortex generators on both top and bottom at
the last rib may reduce this problem at lower speeds. I will probably leave
to factory specs. One concern I had with doing this would be losing aileron
area.
