Thanks Kirk,
A couple of the guys who have rippers have shortened their wingstips by 3 inches on each wing for a total of 6 inches. I'm wondering how much you can remove and still be legal under the allowable wing area? Dont quote me but isnt it a minimum of 400 sq inches, or so? If this is allowable, I may want to shorten mine but I still want to be ssc legal. I just dont know how much to remove, or just leave it stock? The combat that our club is going to have sometime in the near future is not a 'legal' ssc combat meet- they have raised the weight limit by 4 ounces to get more flyer involvement- all other ssc rules still applies- 8 inch max exhaust length, .15 engine, etc....
