Hi ! Noel,
you wrote :- It was mentioned to me that the drooped tips
obscure visibility... Has any one else noticed this?
Well I have droop tips but cannot say I've ever been aware of them
obscuring visability, however thinking about it I suppose they must to a
minute degree like on turn onto final, but I think if you suddenly removed
them you wouldn't notice.
Personally I like the look and to my way of thinking they should improve
lift. Also I have clear leading edge tape along the bottom edge put there by
the builder and I figure in a mild ground loop and a light touch on grass
they may protect things a bit especially as the bottom edge is tapered down
from the front. This could let it ride over the grass perhaps. Don't really
know as I haven't tried it yet !
Anyway I like them.
