The XL they built is bigger and longer than our older "standard" fuselages and
needs more tail feathers.  The factory has made molds for these that fit on my
molded "big wing".   Mark has flown the XL both ways and said it is much better
on landing with them.The standard wings (small) that have been built to spec
without decreasing toe-in, as some builders do, are great without the winglet
bottoms.
