I bought completed wings back when I started the project and the sellers threw in a questionable empennage, I rebuilt most of it with new parts and now find myself in possession of both white fiberglass tips for from around 2007 as well as gray tips from around 2019.
I haven't put them on the scale to see exactly what the delta is, but the white parts are definitely thinner and lighter. I don't know if this because the gray ones have more plies or maybe just thicker gel coat.
Is there any benefit other than weight savings to using one over the other, since I have the option?
