Your kit will increase your wing area by 12.4 square feet offering additional lifting capacity even at the higher weights in fact all flight tests and performance data was conducted at these higher weights with full forward GG loading to simulate worst case scenarios. It was found that our modification will out perform all other STOL kits at these weights.

With 3 feet more wingspan, wont I loose some airspeed?

NO, there is very little drag associated with the wing extension. The additional lift coupled with the slight center of pressure change over the wing allows the aircraft to cruise at a slightly lower angle of attack which easily compensates for any associated drag. Comparison test flights were conducted at higher and lower weights on all approved model Cessna aircraft with and without wing extensions. We discovered that for the same cruise power setting, the IAS remained the same and in some cases increased. Ex. C-185 and C-206 increased 1 to 2 mph. IAS

Will WING-X STOL shorten my take off run?

YES, takeoff runs vary according to aircraft model and configuration, however you can expect to see a noticeable improvement in your aircraft's performance, especially in takeoff distance and climb rate. At the newly approved GTOW the C-180 and 182 takeoff run time will be reduced by approx. 25% on wheels, the Cessna 185 by 35% and the Cessna 206 by 30-35%.

I fly only on floats how much will WING-X STOL shorten my take off run?

The higher lift afforded by the additional wing allows the aircraft to get onto the step much quicker, then acceleration over the water is increased considerably. Takeoff runs vary according to aircraft model and type of floats, but at the higher GTOW the C-180 and 182 takeoff run time will be reduced by approx. 20-25% , the Cessna 185 by 30-35% and the Cessna 206 by 30-35%.

I fly at high elevations will WING-X STOL help my climb performance?

YES. The additional 3 feet wingspan increases the aircraft climb and glide ration. With WING-X STOL your climb performance will increase by 12-15% and service ceiling will increase by approximately 1,000 Feet depending on aircraft model.

In winter, I store my A/C in a 'T' hangar ( 38'wide). How can I fit my A/C in with your mod?

Your all metal wingExtensions are structurally installed but easily removable 'just like wing tips'. For ease of storage they can be removed in less than 15 minutes . However removal and installation requires a tech log entry and signature by an AME.

What is the GTOW weight limitation with WING-X STOL on floats?

The GTOW of the of WING-X STOL will increase you max approved GTOW to 2,950 Lbs. on all C-180,182's and 3,525 Lbs. on all C-185's. Float buoyancy limitations still apply.In order to determine the max allowable take off weight for specific floats , divide the float size by 0.9

Example #1
Model EDO 2960, Float size = 2,960 lbs.
Maximum take off weight = 2,960 / 0.9 = 3288,88 lbs.

Example #2
Model EDO 3440, Float size = 3,440 lbs.
Maximum take off weight = 3,440 / 0.9 = 3,822,22 lbs.

Will my early model Cessna 185 with original IO-470 engine get a gross weight increase?

NO ,The early model Cessna 185 was equipped with IO-470 engine developing 260 HP. This lower power engine combined with our Wing-X STOL modification will offer you great performance but no gross weight increase. The higher gross weight of 3525 Lbs applies ONLY to aircraft that have been modified with IO-520D engine or other engine rated at 300 HP or greater.
