I have also purchased and installed the tips.
I still have to do a little sanding in a few spots to help it fit better but they do look good !
I wasn't happy with the clip on nutplates so I drilled and riveted different ones in place which gives it more of a flush surface when you put in the screws.
I think it would be be easier if they didn't come with any holes in the tabs and then when you mark and drill through the tips it will put an aligned hole in the tabs for the nut plates to line up.
It's just my opinion of making it easier and you don't have to drill the tips to match the tab holes.
They are well worth what I paid and once the plane is finished and painted they will really make it look good.

Default Fillers?

Clint - how about a 'plug' to fill those wing tip 'hand grip holes' in at lease a semi-permanent fashion. Maybe two piece with two or four long screws to hold the top to the bottom. Kinda goes along with your stab tips, I think. Best to you.

My company is currently working on this EXACT project, and have been for awhile now. I just need for normal business to slow down enough to allow time for completion of this project. I mentioned awhile back to Clint that I was pursuing this, so that perhaps we wouldn't both be spending R&D dollars on the same thing. I don't want to hijack his thread here, and until I pay Doug to become an advertiser I don't want to elaborate. But they ARE in the works.

Maybe it's just me, but I can't stand the sight of the hand-holes!

** And for anyone 'on the fence' about buying Clint's Stab tips, do it! They really make a nice-looking addition to your airplane. Take your time and fit them tight, and they look superb **

Builders, I know there are many of you that have installed the stabilizer tips. Would a few of you be kind and email me some pictures of your finished RV's with the tips installed. I am trying to get together some pictures for advertising. any help would be much appreciated. youngoak@yahoo.com
