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.

Bill, I'm with you on this idea; I could not understand any point to the
upturned ones but the downturned ones just made a lot of sense. You are the
first person who has confirmed they make any difference which leads me to
believe not many have actually tried.
Thanks again, Chrissi
