Hi,

If I remember correctly, not all SuperBlaniks are rated for use with the
wingtip extensions. When our club bought a SuperBlanik many years ago, the
wingtips were not yet approved and our SuperBlanik could not use them when
they became available. But I imagine that the majority of SuperBlaniks can
use them.

Best Regards,

Paul Remde
