My 1998 kit, bought in 2007 has no upswept ends. I've seen several
IVs... Have never noticed any upsweep on elevator ends??? Sorry

Subject: [LML] IV Elevator ends

 This picture shows the end of the LH elevator- it's sanded down to the
skin but has a pronounced upsweep, about 1/4" at the highest point. The
RH is very similar. Lancair told me this is intended to act as an air
dam to keep air from spilling off the end, however they also said it
could be flattened out if I wanted. Since the stablilizer tips are flat
it takes a fair amount of micro to match the profile.

  I haven't seen many IV's in person and didn't know enough to look for
this item. The ones I have pictures of appear to be flat at the ends. Is
this something new? Has anyone built angled tips? I'd appreciate a photo
if
possible-  Thanks-  Bill Wade
