OK, I need a question answered by the tech guys. Recently one of my best flying friends passed away and his wife was cleaning out his books. She came across the Touch Of Class Ercoupe book in perfect condition and gave it to me as a thank you for taking him flying to receive his cancer treatments at University of Virginia and also during his final days. In reading it I noticed the comment that the reason the wing does not stall at the tips is because of a small ridge along the leading dge of the wing where it attaches to the fusalage. So yesterday I went to the airport and looked for this ridge or airfoil and something like it was there.
Is this the reason the wing does not stall at the tip and if so how does it work? I know by limiting the elevator travel the stall is eliminated but was curious about the wing stalling. Also we have the rams horn yokes and the added visibility of the entire panel is a plus. Thanks for your tech help on the wing tips. Jim Truxel N3439H 415C Frederick, Md.
