Could what you are asking about be the "Hot Tips" from by Massey Aircraft in Shafter, California?

I Like their wingtips. Just make certain you leave the especially molded in sharp edge along the side of the tip.

The obvious benefit is that they don't need the internal reinforcement like the Van's sheared tips.

Expect a 2 mph increase in cruise speed, and 3 mph decrease in stall speed. (These are numbers I believe to be accurate. I didn't notice what was claimed.)
