Stan, I did that mod after flying the plane for 4 years with the standard tips. When I added the tips, I also cut 8? off of each wing. I don?t know if it made any speed difference (too many mods at the same time), but it certainly changed the way it lands. It is extremely heavy for a Sonerai I but still climbs at 1300fpm at gross and lands at around 55mph. There are a couple of videos on youtube of a few landings.
An SX300 guy built a set of tips based on the video and reported that they lowered the stall speed. Here is a link to an article I wrote about the tips: https://www.dropbox.com/s/e8kgjgcwg3a7zdw/hoerner-wingtip-conversion-part-1.pdf I am currently working on another set of tips that hold fuel ; ) Jeff Lange Race 64 - Skye Racer Blog: http://schmleff.blogspot.com Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/schmleff On Jan 19, 2014, at 11:21 PM, Global Solutions <smcdonal at kos.net> wrote: > I was looking at YouTube today and accidentally ran across this > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoOh-fgI8oU > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULhZchv7ito > > Might be of some interest to the list. > Has anyone tried changing the wing tips? > Regards > Stan > > > > _______________________________________________ > Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search. > To UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to KRnet-leave at list.krnet.org > please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html > see http://list.krnet.org/mailman/listinfo/krnet_list.krnet.org to change > options
