Kolb guys, and ladies.
For those that have been paying attention, I present to
you my home-made droop tips.
I quickly state that making your own is NOT worth it!!!
As I previously stated, I just didn't have the time to
wait on the production models.
I had a hellava time trying to get a final finish on
them. Sheesh!!!!! I've had every "problem
known to man" on their finish, from wrinkle-paint
texture, to non-curing paint problems, to more things than
I care to go into. I had to end up sanding them back to
raw fiberglass finish, and starting over, more than once.
What a real PITA!! What was troubling was that these
wrinkle paint problems, etc, were with the same brand and
type of paint.
If it weren't for the problems I would have been
finished 2-3 weeks ago!
Anyway, for your entertainment, here's my virtually
finished droop tips.
Next, I begin working on the aileron droop tip
extensions, with their built-in counterbalance/spade.
Stay tuned.....

MIKE:
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.
