Thank you for the very quick and detailed response. Very much appreciated.

The 1975 model came with 150G. tanks as standard, and guess by default the "long" wing.

The Max Take Off Weight MTOW was increased from 4700 to 5120 through the AE Wing Exetension STC and AE Fuel Transfer STC. Max Landing Weight is unchanged at 4465. No change to standard 225hp turbo engines. The plane does not have winglets.

Regarding removal of the AE tips/tanks, I don't know how/if the close out ribs are modified. Also would assume that sourcing those may be a challenge, and then adding back on standard wing tips or Horton tips since it has the Horton Stol kit installed.

Understand the suggestion for caution for using the plane above 4700 lbs gross weight and potential concern. I have no way to measure how may of the 510 hours of flight time were above that level, since the AE tips were installed.

Once again, thank you for your comments.

Bob
