Smile Horton Stol Performance

Hello ALL.
I threaded this before about the wing tips for the skymaster. I didn't like the SUPER droops, the ones that extend about 18" below the bottom of the wing, that came with the Horton kit. I ended up talking to one of the original engineers from Horton, and he told me that you HAVE TO HAVE some amount of droop on the tips. So I sent him pictures of the tips I purchased from a SOAPA member. It looks like single engine Cessna tip, that droops about 4" from the bottom of the wing. He told me that would be fine! He also sent me a blue print of the kit showing a less severe tip with Cessna part numbers.The plane flys fine with these tips and make OUR Skymasters look better than those ugly super droops.
Hope this helps.
