I recently a chance to fly a L-29 with modified wing tips. They are a little more
than twice the width of the stock tips. It took about a day to install both
tips. While flying I saw a plus 200 to 400 foot in the climb rate (increase)
and 2 knot decrease in the dirty stall configuration and the 29 was very stable
and smooth though out all flight phases, but the aileron roll was slower. The
29 also seems to want to stay in landing ground effect longer while in the roll-out,
landing with speed brakes becomes more a requirement than an option.
What do you think of this kind of mod?

How about just keeping the Nitrogen system the was it is and avoiding
all those problems to begin with?
