To all that have been inquiring about my life and most importantly 3D Composite Aircraft Parts and the production of wing tips.
Well if any of you have moved from one home to another, you know it takes a lot of time to get settled. I am now somewhat settled. The shop is a work in progress and will be for the next 3 to 4 months. I am starting to get back at production of the wing tips for the Rebel and the Moose/Elite.
I do not advertise on this page and am only writing to stop the rumors. I am back and will answer all e-mails or phone calls. Glad to here all of you are interested. I will fill all orders as they are received but please e-mail or call me in the evening.
By the way, just so you know, I now look East onto Saginaw Bay in Linwood, Michigan, USA. I have been wasting time watching the sun come up in the mornings. I have a great view and am thankful to have reached this point in my life. Waiting to here from you.

Rebel, Moose & Elite Wing Tips
I have been trying to get a set for about a year. I've had very spotty
contact with Dave. I'm actually considering using the Murphy tips! In Dave's
defense, the last email I got from him said he had an illness in the family,
and was very busy with that.

Rebel, Moose & Elite Wing Tips
Jeff,
Can the mods to the spar and stringers be done if the wings are already
finished? Also, how do the tips come off for accessing inside the wing? Are
the spar and stringer extensions riveted to the wing and the tips?
Does anyone know if these tips are currently available?
I sent a request to MAM shipping as well.
Thanks

Rebel, Moose & Elite Wing Tips
Hi Jeff !
Interesting ! I take it that the factory have changed their
position on tip length then ...... They specifically insisted that
Dave Fife make HIS Hoerner tips SHORTER - so they were no longer than
the original Rebel wing tips. This was to "reduce the extra load
on the wing resulting from increased span"..... or do they
recommend shortening the droop tips too ??? ;-^)

Rebel, Moose & Elite Wing Tips
Jesse,
I installed these tips almost a 18 months after building the wings. Tips were not available when the kit was purchased.
Spar extentions can be done at anytime.
Why would you want to get in a finished wing? (Drill rivets if you want in, at this time in the build we should all be good at that:)
Yes, the spar ext and stringers are riveted to wing and tip with a stringer splice/overlap.
Tips are available from MAM, droop tips are an ongoing production.
I'll try to dig up some more pics of tips being installed.

I installed these tips almost a 18 months after building the wings. Tips were not available when the kit was purchased.
Spar extentions can be done at anytime.
Why would you want to get in a finished wing? (Drill rivets if you want in, at this time in the build we should all be good at that:)
Yes, the spar ext and stringers are riveted to wing and tip with a stringer splice/overlap.
Tips are available from MAM, droop tips are an ongoing production.
I'll try to dig up some more pics of tips being installed.

Jeff,
Can the mods to the spar and stringers be done if the wings are
already
finished? Also, how do the tips come off for accessing inside the
wing? Are
the spar and stringer extensions riveted to the wing and the tips?
Does anyone know if these tips are currently available?
I sent a request to MAM shipping as well.
Thanks
Jesse

Jesse,
The clecos are holding my stringer splice, for my spar---extend into the wingtip aprox 8 to 10 inches.

Hi Jeff !
Interesting ! I take it that the factory have changed their
position on tip length then ...... They specifically insisted that
Dave Fife make HIS Hoerner tips SHORTER - so they were no longer than
the original Rebel wing tips. This was to "reduce the extra load
on the wing resulting from increased span"..... or do they
recommend shortening the droop tips too ??? ;-^)

Hi Jeff
How wide are those things? They look like they might add more
wingspan
than the original tips. They do look good!

Bob,
Not sure what's MAM's position is on istalling the tips. I did not shorten the tips during the installation. You may have to cut the front & rear sections for tight fit, other than that, installed as received.

Just wondered, since they seemed to feel Dave's tips would/could
be dangerous if not shortened .... Might be something for folks to
ask about before just installing these !
