Wingtip Mods

Decided to change the shape of the wingtips. No good reason, except that the owner & I both used to have Maxair Hummers, and their wingtip shape seemed to contribute to them being really great flying little ultralights. So now it looks like this, ailerons reshaped to match. Added a little dihedral, it flies straight & level hands off.

This seemed like a good time to get really fancy with the wingtip strobes, & nav lights. First, we needed something to fit the strobe lights into. This looks like just the right size.

Glue the Pantene can in, rivit the nav light on, cover it all with Stits and shrink to fit. Rinse, repeat with other wing. Glue a row of Superbright white LED's to the trailing edge and you're good to go!
