My Bonanza has them but they are only about .25 x .25 and it still departs level flight like a "big dog" when that wing decides to stop flying:-) It'll sure get you attention, great amusement park ride. BTW, this is prevalent in all Bonanzas, not just mine. Dana Overall 1999 & 2000 National KR Gathering host Richmond, KY RV-7 slider, Imron black, "Black Magic" Finish kit Buying Instruments.
