Just curious, what kind of tips did you replace them with and why? I am also building
the metal wing and would like to know about the wingtips, Thanks, Jeff

Jeff, I built a set of extended wing tips, similar in shape to the tip shown
on the later W10s. This was mostly to make the plane look more like one with
the wooden wing. The tips did increase the span about 30 inches since I just
added them on to the existing wing. I think they look good, anyway.
The older tips are sold by ACS for a T-18. As received, they are about 2
inches too long to fit the tip, and need to be shortened. There is no
provision for lights. They also require fitting around the aileron mass
balance arm. None of this is particularly difficult, but does take time.
The tips I have have been modified for nav lights and a position for a
separate strobe light. No strobe was installed, there's just a flat spot to
install a small light with a power supply mounted somewhere else. As I
mentioned before, my ailerons are different than the plans show and the tips
have been made to fit. However, the tips were originally modified to fit the
standard aileron and then re-modified from that.
The tips would not be a bolt on installation, unless you built ailerons with
a 5 inch chord, but I think would save time over modifying as set from ACS.
If there's anything else, let me know.
Bill

Thanks for the reply. I also want to build a tip similar to the wooden design
when I finish my metal wing. It would be nice of you to post some pics on the
forum for everyone to see. Jeff
