Re: Plus and minus of main wing tips
I agree with Jay & Sam. I would like to change to more of a different wing tip but not worth the time. I had those designed in the early 90’s.
I think that I am going for wheel pants next.

I agree with you Sam! Thanks for everyone’s input.

Re: Plus and minus of main wing tips
Mike,
Be sure to consider how much down time you will have before changing anything. Then multiply that number by ten or maybe 100.

Re: Plus and minus of main wing tips
Looking for speed & performance? IMHO here are the biggies:
Engine cooling efficiency.
Wheel pant drag
Fairings & fillets
Engine & Propeller upgrades
Each category can fill a book, but it's all out

Re: Plus and minus of main wing tips
I would say that overall, it is not worth the effort of changing what you have. There is a lot of variation in speeds of Q200’s and I think wing tip shape is down at the bottom of the list in terms

Plus and minus of main wing tips
Guys,
im soon to be a new owner of a standard configuration Q200. I’m wondering what everyone thinks about aerodynamic wing tips for speed and performance? Or if you think it’s to much work than

Re: progress
Mike--------- I have done some tests and gas, laquer thinner , paint thinnner, acetone will all eat the foam instantley.
Methal hydrate [ gasline antifreeze] does not seem to. Maybe if left

Re: progress
Sure like that video Sam and I like the presentation, you're a skilled communicator.
Judging from the reflection on the wing you got that pretty straight.
I've always been open to new ways of doing

Re: progress
Love Click- bonds but I do not like adhesive. Epoxies work well to hold them on.

Re: progress
I used the “Wing wash” compound as is (comes in gallon cans. It is designed to prep A/C fabric for primer and paint). I am pretty sure it uses isopropyl, but I would have to check on the label at
