Wingtip Skids - Foam (set of 2) Set of 2 foam wingtip skids. They are made from a light weight
black foam material. Replaceable metal inserts are used to keep
the foam from wearing away rapidly on hard surfaced runways.
Teardrop shape to minimize drag.
Notes From The Manufacturer (Ulli Werneburg)
"They are made of high density
rubber/foam material which is also used on shoe soles such as the
old Hush Puppies. It has turned out that this material lasts very
well, particularly since the metal 'shoe' takes most of the
scraping. I have had mine on my ASW-24 for about 4 years and they
still look really good.
Ideally, for installation the top
(straight) surface should be sanded a bit to make a slight concave
surface to match the wing contour. It is easy to do with a drum
sanding tool or file, and you can then customize it to fit your
airfoil.
I recommend the use of high quality
gasket silicone material (readily available at all automotive supply
stores) for attaching them to the wing. This provides excellent
adhesion."
Wingtip Skids - Polymer (set of 2) Set of 2 polymer wingtip skids. They are made from a rubbery
polymer material. Replaceable metal inserts are used to keep
the skid from wearing away rapidly on hard surfaced runways.
Teardrop shape to minimize drag.
Installation Instructions
Remove old wing tip skid and get rid
of all old cement residue with appropriate cleaner such as contact
cement cleaner
Test fit new wing tip skid onto
wing. Sand area where skid is to be mounted slightly.
Wipe contact surface of wing with
acetone or similar light solvent and apply a thin, even layer of
high quality automotive gasket silicone compound (blue or black) to
the wing skid. Carefully apply the skid to the desired
location. Fasten skid temporarily with tape.
Remove excess silicone material as
it is squeezed out when pressure is applied to the skid.
Let sit for at least 3 hours, then
carefully remove tape. Best adhesion takes at least 12 hours
at normal temperatures.
