Seaworthy
FOUNDER
Massachusetts
The original wings are TCOW extended squaretip. The extended portion is all in the fiberglass tip.The spar ends are the same span as Piper's.
The new aluminum wing tip has 2-1/2"more span. The rib is completely exposed. The yarns flow straight back in most flight attitudes except during stall
when the outboard row curls up and outboard. The other wing tip is the standard TCOW(Backcountry) tip. What would you expect to find? Which has
more drag? Lift? Would you expect a cruise speed difference? Higher or lower? What do you guys think? After a while I'll tell you what I found. In the
meantime I'll be making another new tip for the other side to balance the two wings.
