Re: Cost of replacement wingtip

OK - an update: I have N787DM back, wingtip repaired and with a bright new pair of Whelen OR600 nav/strobe lights. My thanks to you, Dave - for suggesting I send the wingtip for repair to Glenn at Southtec, and to Rich , Rick and Tim for the helpful documentation. Glenn deemed the wingtip an “easy” ...
