These are the two fiberglass "batwing" wing tips that will fit on the end of each wing. The cutouts in the front are designed to fit the lexan cover for the strobe and navigation lights that will be installed for night flying purposes. the lexan comes in one piece, so you get to cut this in half and trim it to fit the cutout in the wing tip. The plans state to be sure to store these in the position shown, with the open end on a flat surface. Otherwise they will warp and become distorted. THe P-47 in the background is not part of the Van's kit, but is an RC model that enjoy flying quite a bit. I don't have any real traildragger time yet, but I have about 30 hours of taildragger time on this model, which requires much of the same skill and know-how as it does to properly fly a real taildragger.
