I'd like to buy / find / modify existing, or any other options, 18m wing tip extensions with winglets for my Ventus C.

I have 15 meter MASAK winglets and have been after an un-named source for several years now who stated they could work with Dr. Mauhgmer on am 18 meter tip design, however this source just doesn't seem interested in following through.

I have some initial draft designs for winglets done by the original owner Steve Willets. However I'm not sure they are viable.

I do have a set of 16.6 tips that I am open to converting.

I certainly do not have the skill for this type of work, even with the basic design drawings done several years ago. I'm not getting any response from a party who had indicated they could build these.

I am open to options.

Please, if your just going to tell me they are hard to find, thanks, I already know that. I'd like to get some advice on moving forward with this.

Thanks ,
Mike N.
