Anyone have any insight on the interchangeable wing tip/removable bay as shown in this video at 12:15?

Allegedly my kit has this as an option stuffed in one of the many boxes of parts, but I’d like to see the details on how it’s actually carried out in the build and used when complete. Anyone have this on theirs?

Thanks,
David

The installation instructions should be in the "Wing" section of your builder's manual.

Unfortunately that is one of many sections of the build manual that I have missing and I was under the impression it was a Speedster option. I’m not asking for the installation instructions, more of a summary of the process. Unless people aren’t speaking up about it, it appears not many builders have incorporated it.

Thanks for the insight thus far.

Hi fatom
I have a Vixen with that option. It has 1400 gross with extended wings but I imagine would be less as a "Speedster". I have never changed to the short wing. Very simple system with a couple of rods holding the extentions in place.
Cheers
Don
