Default Wing Tip Compatibility?

I'm building a 6. I'm interested in buying some used wing tips off a 10. Are they compatible?

Out of interest are the wings or tips interchangeable on any of the rv line?

Thanks!

I know that the RV-10 and RV-14 use an entirely different airfoil than the rest of the RV line.

No. RV-4, -6, -7, and -8 have interchangeable wing tips.
