Paul,
I have been enjoying all the rotary items on your list and figure you
have a vast library of many related aircraft stuff.

do you have or know the whereabouts of wing tip design?  I have my
exact wing rib file, but from there, I can make a short blunt tip
with on center bull nose, swept back tip, trailing flair, horner
style and the list goes on.

Just curious.  I design in SolidWorks...just need a calculated
direction for this.

I have not payed any attention to that in years.
Most of the RV guys use a highly swept back tip that
comes to a point. Here is Tracy Saylor airplane.
Fastest RV6 in the world.

I googled and found this: http://www.makeitlouder.com/vortex.html
I have no idea if it works, but it looks different.
