Thanks! I will be contacting DG and SCT Terlet (where I bring my glider for ARC) for advice. I have seen some DG-100 with different wingtips than mine, wingtips more like the LS-4, with a very slight curve and narrowing to the end of the tip, where my DG's wingtips have some sort of block (about 1 inch) with a metal skid. Maybe it would be possible to replace these?


The different wingtip profile is an official DG mod covered by DG100 TN
301-20. See the DG website for info.

Do you also have any info on handling/performance differences using the new wingtips?
