I contacted Zenith about offering an improved wing for the guys who have the HD and HDS models. The responder thought that it was a great idea and he said that he would keep it in mind but that the were working on other things right now.<br />

I agree that it would be nice to get Zenith involved with developing a modification to the HDS wing. I suspect that Zenith is looking forward with their 650 and 750. It might be hard for us to get them to look back at modifications for the HDS wing. Perhaps I will shoot them an email and see what they say. I will report back any response.<br />

<p>The thing to keep in mind with this extended wing is it's not a user modification, this was built by Zenith as a design concept prior to the XL design. Unfortunately per Zenith they have no drawings, etc to help us with this endeavor, my wish is someone at Zenith will read this and offer us some help.</p>

<p>Hey Rich,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thank you for posting that information.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It looks like he extended the wing out by not cutting the lower skin and beveling to make the wing tip. Maybe the top and lower skin are a little longer. It is hard to know much more from the photograph. I was hoping that it was some kind of retro-fit to an existing wing; guess not.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p></p>

<p>I've been in contact with the guy referenced in my October 21st email and have some additional information. He provided a picture and dimensions which I have used to create a sketch which are in the attached file. It would be great if we could get Zenith to help us develop a modification to the HDS wing.</p>

<p>Hey James,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Can you tell me the names of these guys? Anyone doing much work on an experimental probably has a web presence somewhere. I might be able to find him with a few web searches.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

No unfortunately not mate. The chap with the aircraft is quite far away so I am relying on another guy to mail them to me.<br />
