Barnstormers has an RV-10 featured in their weekly eFLYER with an unusual decision on building the wing. They seem to have left the entire fiberglass wingtip off the build.  Not sure I have ever seen this before (or want to ever see again).

I would suggest this carries a change in the wing loading.  Truly an experimentalist.



I wonder what Van had to say about this.......

Hmm, I guess that's how you deal with poorly aligned and matched

trailing edges with your wingtips when you're REALLLLLLLY lazy.

Wonder how many other hidden gems there are on that one.

Glareshield head protector is cool.  I guess you don't need shoulder 

harnesses?

Looks like he has matching drawer pulls on interior and exterior side of 

door.  Must have cleaned out the aviation aisle at HomeDepot.

Maybe it's just me but I'd kind of like to know how it flies. Not that

I'd take mine off, but maybe he' onto something.

Just sayin'.

What's wrong Dave, you need some help with fiberglass?

BTW I am now referring to that plane as the HD-10 (Home Depot).

I like that Robin.  But the first Home Depot plane was at Oshkosh 2005.  

I don't know how many remember this one but it was a flying car made of wood. 

We all called it the Home Depot Special the whole week.  

I really hope it was just a concept.

Another view of the car. The guy was sort of unpleasant if you didn’t “ooh” and “ahh” while looking at the thing (actually, it was hard not to chuckle.) It looked very heavy. Haven’t seen it at any other Airventure since.

That wingtip design might be very efficient if the plane always flew exactly straight through the air without adverse yaw. 

  

 Since yaw is a part of flight, these wing tips would be very in efficient and cause a lot of drag. 

  

 Here is another odd design showing a flow seperator to minimize wing tip drag.
