Hi All,

  I would like to make a set of  removable Speedster wing tips (have droops now) using the glass over foam method! Could someone give me measurements for the length from inboard to tip and what the angle from undersurface to top surface is? And of course any pointers for foam and glass construction!

                                    Thanks

                                     Gil Levesque

                                     C-I GVL

Gil, I will try to help here.



Mine are about 9-1/2 inches, but as I recall, they are about 3" shorter than 

normal as I was planning on putting the airplane in the garage and needed 

the 3" for fit there.  Skystar, at the time said the actual dimension was 

optional as they had one dimension on a drawing and another in the text of 

the manual.



The top of the tip is nearly flat with the top surface of the wing and the 

end radius looks to be about a half inch - about an inch thick - at the tip 

(near the leading edge).  The bottom surface then goes from the edge radius 

to the bottom surface of the wing in a nearly straight line and radiuses to 

the botom wing surface with  a gentle curve.



Now the 1/2" radius at the outboard edge starts with that dimension near the 

leading edge and then tapers down to the thickness of the trailing edge in a 

gradual uniform manner.



Hope this helps.



Lowell
