What is the thinking behind the extensions on the trailing edges at the tips?

Hi Randy

It is more efficient, and keeps more air from spilling off quicker, adds more lift

New ship looks beautiful, as expected. It doesn't show good in the photos, but I can see the
broad stripe detail that you used on the bottom of the cowl. That was a terrific detail on the
new plane that you built several years ago.

Be sure and keep it in good shape, so I can see it in person when we return to Florida in the
fall. Hope you are having better flying weather than we are here in Central NY. It's been
windy and wet for the whole month of May.

Is the new ship all trimmed out okay?

Good luck at the Nats....we'll be watching for you.

Cheers.

Hi Milton The SHRIKE STARIS SATONA ARE MID-sized stunter, that still look 60 size when flying, the are 640 sq in and are the same basic aero package as the VECTOR , they have been flown very successfully with 40s to 65s, one person has a 75 in his, 2 with 40s have made it as high as 2nd in the top 5 at the NATs, so they work very well, they are designed for piped 40s, but other sizes work well, and many are being flown by side ex engines, like the PA40 , 51, 61 , as well as LA 46 and ST G51, there are a few with Stalkers and 45FSRs
