Wing Fences
AC# 405
The Quicksilver Sprint & Sprint II are one of the highest load
lifting wings in the ultralight industry. For this reason it is
chosen as the workhorse of the product line.
A large majority of the Quicksilver planes operating
on floats are using the Sprint wing. While the airfoil shape of this
wing is a high lift configuration, the open end of the wing tip
allows a significant amount of "lifting air" to escape. This
escaping air also creates drag inducing vortices. Tests have shown
that the outboard 5' of each wing is funneling the air out through
the open tip.
The simple addition of the Tip Fences stops the air
from spilling out of the open end. The result is a wing which is
utilizing the entire length. You will notice a shorter take-off run,
lower cruise RPM and an increased climb rate.
The fence arrangement is constructed of 1/2" aluminum
tubing and a 1/16" thick Lexan panel. The Lexan is attached to the
tip rib of the wing and the new lower rib frame. The fence is
supported from braces on
the outboard compression strut.
Assembly should take less than 2 hours and requires
simple hand tools. Everything is included in the kit. A pop
rivet gun is needed.
It is strongly recommended that either Trailing Edge
Support Cables or Heavy Duty Wires be added to your
aircraft when using Wing Fences.
