from an American Spirit, which I believe is a copy of the Ventus. *And
the result is that his handling has improved quite a bit. *He did do
some adjustments on the toe-out angle to fine tune it which

I would like to do the same thing with mine using the exact same
molds. *My Cirrus is a standard airworthiness certificate. *If I were
to do the factory winglet or the Maughmer winglet, the cost is between
3,000-5,000 when it's all said and done. *So that being said, this
option, looks very appealing.

Has anyone in this group dealt with the same sort of deal? *I would be
willing to change my standard airworthiness certificate over to an
expiremental if that is the best solution. *Any guidance is much
appreciated.

PS Happy Thanksgiving.

Hi,

I'm curious, what kind of testing did your friend do to determine the
tow angle needed tweaking?

thanks,
Brad
