Planning to use 200HP turbo engine that should weight same as a IO-320. I'm interested in cross-countries only. I've heard the wingtip extensions add lift allowing smaller angle of attack on high-altitude cruise flights. But with a overpowered turbo engine, I should be able to fly faster, so is there a point still in installing the wingtip extension ? Thanks in advance, Marcelo Pacheco >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML homepage: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html
