Hi All,

Making my final decision whether to use the wingtip extension on my
320. Planning to use 200HP turbo engine that should weight same as a
IO-320.
I'm interested in cross-countries only.
I've heard the wingtip extensions add lift allowing smaller angle of
attack on high-altitude cruise flights. But with a overpowered turbo
engine, I should be able to fly faster, so is there a point still in
installing the wingtip extension ?

Thanks in advance,

Marcelo Pacheco
