Richard Pike,
Have you noticed any benefit by changing the wing tip shape on your latest
rebuild?

Too soon to tell. Initial impressions are that the airplane is faster at a given rpm, but since we also streamlined the gear legs and now have a very tight gap seal, in addition to slightly changing the upper fuselage under the aft part of the wing, it is hard to say if the wingtips are responsible for anything.
Haven't flown since I put the trim tab on, it has been gusty all day for the last three days, Monday is supposed to be good, will do some test flying then and post results if they make any sense.
We have a video on the Mountain Empire Sport Flyers webpage, shows the new wing profile real well.

Hey Richard,
Don't know about the tip aerodynamics but they sure look cool!
