Field Guide to Shortwing Wingtip STC's

[Steve Pierce]

Rumor has it I have heard, that you can land a Pacer on the TOP of Mile High with these tips.

:shock: I have a video of something like that somewhere.

Thanks again for the feedback. I am a couple of months away from refurbishing my wings. I will likely install the Stewart conversion, as I have heard mostly positive and little negative of the resulting performance. I will then provide some sea-level data for you when I get her together.

Gents,
Steve has taken first place and me at second in our NW short take off and landing competition with his droop tips and similar wing area. This minor short lived feat, I attribute pilot lack of experience with the new wings, plus the weight of rocks (30#) found in my a/c, which carbon dating testing related the rocks to a formation found on Lopez island.

Rumor has it I have heard, that you can land a Pacer on the TOP of Mile High with these tips.
This Pacer was present at the Lopez "West"this week end. Testing with high cross winds proved that this wing mod allows flight operations into signifincant adverse conditions with a greater margin of safety and high passenger landing ratings.
Glad to supply photos of the insallation process if needed.

It would be a good idea to post the Pacers "near miss" at Mile High. Although, his landing in the Lopez hurricane was OK, I'm sure I would have used much less runway.......You found the rocks???...Now the pressure is on....Got to get a Borer Prop.....Damn....

Do post some pictures, not everyone knowns about the Sullivan tips.

Alright,
I will post my pictures in the next couple of days.

Borer props are verboten in this shoot out, as it is not how long a prop you have but how you use the prop you have.

"What happens at Mile high stays at Mile High" Better be carefull what I say to who. Appears we now have "Pictures"

Isn't there some club by the same name as this famous strip in the sky.

We're too old to remember.

Speak for yourself! I just started dating again!?!?!?!???????

[Stephen]

Good for you!!

While I can't speak for everyone, I certainly can for Dave and myself (that's with my wife's permission).

question has anyone moved the ailerons 14 inches out towards the tip then squared the tip and then added fourteen inches to the flap i have been looking at my uncovered round tip wings and i think it will work what do you guys think thanks Rocket 204

[Tadpole]

Trimmer has applied for an STC for.....

Move the aileron outboard 24" and then extends the flap outboard & inboard to the fuselage, as a part of this STC we may include the installation of an additional 18 gallon tank in either or both wings.

This exact mod has been done in years before FAA change 16 using the field approval process. It makes a great plane. I missed moving the ailerons outboard by about 6 months prior to change 16 and was really hoping somebody could STC it. I spoke to Eddie Trimmer on Sunday at the Alaskan Airmans Show. He informed me he just applied for the mod. Eddie will get this mod through, I'm sure. Just hang onto your hat and wait for Eddie's STC! It's comming! Other than that, there is no way the FAA will field approve it any longer!

Thanks Eddie!
