REFLECTOR: Old style 173LW/XL Winglet foam question

[Laurence Coen]

Albert,

I have a standard wing with blue foam core winglets.  The upper and lower 
cores were joined and the glassed as a unit.  My rudders extend all the way 
to the bottom so the cut line follows the rudder line on the lower winglet, 
then horizontally to the leading edge.  If your rudders are upper winglet 
only your mileage may vary.
