This is a Hoerner tip. Marginally better than just a plain
tip. Not as good as more span and not as good as large winglets.

..that looked like a "Super Tip".  We had some on a 182, made by either
Demers or Madras Air Service depending on the vintage, out of Madras,
Oregon.  I thought the early RV's had a Hoerner style tip like the shot
here.  I could be wrong here,
