Hey Jack B. Hart, last year on Aug 26, you posted a link to an interesting study on wing tip shapes.
http://naca.central.cranfield.ac.uk/reports/1923/naca-report-140.pdf
It made sense, would be as easy to make as the regular tip, and if it didn't work, probably would'nt hurt. The other link you posted was along the same line, even more interesting, but has since been taken down.
Ed liked the idea, the rebuild process is still coming along, and here is the first tip. Not as radical as what the link said was ideal, but didn't require any major mods either.
Just so you'll know somebody out here is paying attention...

PS: No, the trailing edge is not curved, that is the wide angle lens effect.

I'm doing the same thing, with a 20° rake, for my biplane project:

Richard- Did you lengthen the trailing edge, shorten the leading edge, or both? What about the flaps and ailerons?

Cut 1.75" off the leading edge where it stuck out past the last rib, the trailing edge is stock, not going to modify the ailerons. FSII=no flaps.
This was a donor wing that only needs a little work, bought a basket case in Florida for parts. Tomorrow will be pulling out the steel root rib, it has some rust on it, need to make sure it is not rusty where it slips inside the trailing edge.
Ed's original left wing ought to be in pretty good shape, the crash got the tip and a little bit of the trailing edge, will probably pull the cover off next week and get started on it.
