Art Bertolina has been kind to share photos of his installation so that this application can be available to the rest of us who want to take advantage of new and better ideas for building our planes. This can be done as a retrofit as well as a new installation. Using Carbinge to rid the plane of rows of screws on the wingtips and strengthen the attachment makes a lot of sense. For discussion of the rationale, advantages, photos and a bit of instruction, see this URL: http://www.carbinge.com/wingtips.htm Regards, John Barrett Barrett/Garrett Enterprises, Inc. PO Box 428 Pt.
