I'd love to see pics of that wing.
Question: Were the wings made and bonded in-house?
Question: What was the bonding process?
Question: Does the last batch of AG5Bs have the same wing? It looks more pointed to me.

significant deterrent to stall-spins NASA proved with all their tests and, as
result of the same thing on the Long-Eze, Rutan adopted it for his kit design
and later just used a series of "fences" down the outboard leading edge that
accomplished about the same thing. I have heard one plane got modified this
way and either got a 1 time STC or a field approval. If anyone knows about
it, please share.<<<
If I understand Ken, this would be a grumman with a wing setup not unlike that on a Cirrus. Like Ken, if anyone has heard of this, or knows of one with the mentioned STC / field approval, then by all means please share the info.
