How did this affect performance, both slow and cruise flight?maules.com wrote:The early M4 round tip was convertible to the droop tip which added 12" overall to span. 29'10" to 30'10
That round tip wing comes down like a tri-pacer when the power is pulled off, and in cruise, the 0-300 just barely keeps it " on the step", at around 100kts @ 75%
63 M-4 "Old number, 26" (now sold and gone to Florida).

I upgraded to m5 wings from round tip m4. I can fly probably 5 to 10 mph slower. I didn't notice this step thing as I have a io360. It was a 140mph plane at altitude with 850s and round tips and a constant speed mac. M5 wing slowed me to like 130 with 850s and 115/120 with 30's. I like the 5 wing much better for getting in short with a load it made a HUGE difference. My 5 wing also has VGs so that accounts for some of it. I'd do it if your underpowered it will help, but before I dumped more than 1000 bucks into some wing extensions I would find a io360. I see them sometimes for between 4 and 6k. Get a used mac 80" c203 prop for around 3k off a cessna and your good to go. The aluminum cowl will work with the 360 but won't cool as well. Skymaster has a 360d get a donor engine. I might just so happen to have two 360's available of we can't get our skymaster electrical issues solved , will know this summer
