Unless I'm mistaken, you might be a while waiting for Mr. Langford to reply directly to this one. He should be just between unpacking his bags to launder his jeans and get them re-packed again, headed overseas on travel. My recollection is that one of the objectives of the design exercise was to dispense with the stock KR-2S wingtip, which consists of gluing a block of foam to the outboard rib and shaping it to become the outboard end of the wing (or wing extension). The AS50xx wings carry a "real" airfoil all the way out to the end, leaving the builder to simply add a wingtip of his/her choice (winglet, squared tip, Hoerner, whatever). So the templates reflect a "real" wing all the way out to the end to develop the full wing area without what Langford calls the "hokey" or "hoaky" wing extensions.
