I have always been mildly curious about how the canard tip vortices

affected

the main wing. If placed properly to pass over the main wing they should
enhance main wing lift.

The more amusing part of that is when I enquired about tip

configurations the

answer was..."whatever makes you happy" they had been up, down and none

at

all.
I'm going to betray myself as geeky but here goes.. I was going to

invert the

tips so they rolled down, looks like a "Bird of Prey" (Star Trek)

...geesh,

is this any way to do engineering?

Chrissi,

Tried standard tips, but did nothing for me. Then I had to put new tips on
(another story).
Elected to go with Finch Tips.  Turned down and invented by Dr Finch.  In
fact I put them on
Rocky Jones racer, OLE BLUE.  Rocky said they did exactly what he wanted.
Then he
died as a result of a mid-air.
At any rate I put hem on my LongEz (you flew with them) and it resulted in a
lot more
elevator authority due to delaying tip vortex.
I like them, and so will you.  Plans are available if you wish.

Fly fast, land slow
