Anyone have a serviceable pair of wingtips they're willing to sell? I have the symmetrical ones on my plane and I'd like to replace them with the more modern Cessna Standard ones that have that little bit of droop or cuff at the trailing edge.

Look into the Knots2U wingtips. They have both the newer style wing tips and wing tips with Landing lights in the wing tips.

I second this.


The factory Cessna tips are plastic and overtime deteriorate to the point of becoming useless.

The Knots2U are fiberglass and far superior the the ABS plastic that Cessna used.

As Ron noted, you will also have the option to install landing lights in the wingtip (if you so desire) which is a great upgrade that several of us here have opted for.

I've done the same... Knots2U fiberglass droop tips with lights. Did that in 2005 and worth every penny.
