Hello guys.

I like to introduce myself, I am 50, European/American, forme= r Cirrus

SR22 (= 1100 hours) and Velocity TXL5 (250 hours, just sold this plane)

(total 1400 hours).

I am a future Lancair 4p owner (= looking to buy one these weeks, so if

you know someone who wants to sell his let me know) a= nd looked at a few

Lancair 4p already.

N= ow about the winglets (my first question);

Some planes I looked at had their winglets, some= not. All those that did not had one told me it doesn't do anything, th= e ones they had did told me it works great,

more stability etc, even the CAFE report is tel= ling that it produces

more stability at higher altitude.

But…even the big Charlie Kohler told me it doesn't ad= d anything but more

drag...thus less speed.

I have no experience whatsoever with the Winglets. So my question to you=

guys is, do yo= u have any experience telling you that it does work? (this

is more for pilots who had both = so they can tell the difference)

Thanks -- Ronald Stevens
