The ink is barely dry on my RV-6A's airworthiness certificate and I'm enjoying the best of both worlds. Fly in the morning before it gets too damn hot and then go home to the comfort of airconditioning while completing the empennage on my RV-8A. Soon, I will be ordering the wing kit. Questions for you guys. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and personally, I prefer the look of the older squared off wingtips rather than the newer sheared type...too Batmanny looking for my tastes. Why did Van go to this design? Does it enhance something? Can the older wingtips be installed (without undue modification) on the newer matched hole kits? Given the choice, would I even want to install the older version? Finally, are unused examples of the original wingtips even available anymore?
