extended wing tips. I was wondering if Tom (or anybody else) had any data
on long vs. short wing tip performance at cruise above 15,000 feet.  The
factory claims an increase in cruise performance with the long tips, I was just wondering if this actually pans out in the real world.


I spoke with Orin about it, and he seemed iffy about the increased
performance at higher altitude.  Something about increased drag offsetting
any increased lift...
