Fantastic video, thank you! It looks so easy to install the winglets but in reality it seems to be a huge amount of work. How do you check the wingspan and the correct alignment (angle) of the winglets? For me this seems to be the most important part of the installation, where you can make big mistakes.
With an aluminium tube (square) taped to the nose of the wing you have a reference. Trust DG that they made the winglets correct and if you align the leading edge of the winglet whit the tube/wing your alignment is correct. Wingspan is just a long tape measure. I did a LS-3 winglet modification as well this winter. I think you have a LS3, check it out ;)
Ik heb al erg lang geen ls4 gevlogen, dus kan er niet veel over zeggen. Zou ongeveer twee glijpunten moeten opleveren, en ik denk dat de lage snelheid/overtrek verbeterd is
In my club we have two LS4 one without winglets and one with the older "big" winglets. Most of the pilots concluded that the one without feels better especially in straight flight - there is less need for direction corrections, how do the NEO ones feel?
I only have one flight, but the regular LS4 pilots are happy. Directional control, I don’t know, but stall and low speed handling is definitely improved.
Man. I wish my winglets would pop off with a button or something. They touch the trailer top cover when it closes and it push the wing wheels into the vertical stabilizer and scuffs it.
@@HalmarLakeman great .. thank you. I assume that includes the Form 1. I am looking for a LS3 or LS4 does anyone know of one for sell not listed on the web classifieds?

Incredible Halmar! Amazing skills you have.
Very cool, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful work sir. Is that your club's workshop? If so, you are very lucky to have such a great workspace.
Can i know what adhesive are you using to attach the winglet to wing ?
wow !
Nice! Subbed!
Wederom mooi werk! Wat voor verschil merk je met vliegen?

insane work!! how many hours did it take you??
Quite a lot. Around 100 hours would be a good estimate.

Welke ralkleur hebben jullie voor de tips gebruikt? Erg mooie hi-vis kleur.
We hebben RAL 2004 gebruikt. Zit nu op een groot deel van de vloot :)
How many hours did eventually take you to install the winglets?
Quite a lot. Around 100 hours would be a good estimate.
What type of spraygun did you use?
Nothing special, something like this. About €20; www.nonpaints.com/nl/euro-gun-mini-verfspuit-met-bovenbeker-hvlp-spotrepair

Prachtig werk Halmar, hoe veel tijd zit daar wel niet in?
Ik ben bang dat die over de 100 uur heen is gegaan...
@@HalmarLakeman Jemig. Nou, het resultaat mag er zijn!
How much does it cost to add winglets to an LS4?
@@rickdeckard7470 About €4000 for the parts, and of course the work. Check with DG-flugzeugbau.
