I seriously looked into it a couple of years ago. There was apparently one played with years ago, but the project was dropped due to extremely high labor involvement and cost of getting the STC. There was apparently a mold made at one time for the tips, but I couldn't get anyone to check and even see if they would produce one set and let me worry about paper work. I guess the problem was that with the Coupe's round wing tips, they had to completely rebuild the ends of the wings to install the tips.

There has been a lot of discussion about minimum flying speed, has anyone ever contacted Robinson about a STOL experiment with a Coupe?. The one thing that comes to mind is installing drooping wingtips to stop the loss of air caused by the dihedral. Any ideas?
