First, my wings were a little short to start with. I never added the outer foot of composite spar to the ends of the wood spars, so my wings were each a foot shorter than the plans. The extensions (which get me up to slightly longer than standard KR2S length) improved climb rate, glide rate, more nose-down attitude at high altitude, and even gave me an extra mph or two in speed, but that must be attributed to reduced drag from the "real" Hoerner wing tips. So I can tell you that shorter wings aren't necessarily the hot ticket to high speed performance... Mark Langford ML at N56ML.com website www.n56ml.com
