Isham Extended Wing Tips With Landing Lights. Piper PA-28. Set of Two.

STC SA2490SW approves the installation of new-style extended wingtips with recognition lights on the following Piper airplanes: PA-28R-180 (all serial numbers) PA-28R-200 (serial numbers 28R-35001 through 28R-7135329)

The modification extends the wing span from 30' to 32' 2.5", installs a new Hoerner style wingtip, and installs the new style dorsal fin fairing to replace the old "Nixon nose" fairing. Minimum components must be on the airplane (dorsal fin) to meet the FAA approval requirements for this STC

Performance:
Before this modification the "fat wing" or "Hershey Bar" wing Cherokee has a tremendous sink rate in a reduced power situation. This installation results in a gentle sink rate by adding wing area, thereby reducing wing loading. The modification improves the climb rate and cruise speed. Stall speed is reduced. Another improvement results by reducing wingtip vortices, which cause disturbance of airflow over the aileron during slow speed flight. The result is an improved aileron response with improved "roll control power" making cross wind landings much easier.

Many pilots complain of "wing heaviness" on the short wing Cherokee when fuel is burned from one tank for more than 45 minutes. With the extended wingspan fuel can be used from one tank for an hour and fifteen minutes without any noticeable wing heaviness.

The added lift of the wing, new design wingtips, reduced drag of the stabilator and the vertical fin fairing all combine to give a faster cruise speed, increased control power, better rate-of-climb, extremely docile stall characteristics, greatly reduced sink rate and the appearance of a brand new airplane.

The lights will add visibility and recognition in the pattern.  For even more visibility and recognition the HID Light system can be added. HIDs produce more then 5X the light output while drawing far less amperage.  The HID lights are also waranted for as long as you own your plane!

For additional recognition you can purchase thE MaxPulse system to add the wig wag effect.
