REFLECTOR: Filler for wingtips

[bdtopp at comcast.net]

Keith,
    I talked with Brendan about this very thing last summer and he said there was no need to fill them.  I did not fill my canard tips, and, lower winglets are not filled.  You may want to double check with the factory, but, I don't believe it's needed.
