TINSFOS question
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		
Brad - 
 
IIRC, early ships with 16.5/16.6 extensions had no additional control 
surfaces. 
 
Ships with 17+ tips tended to have an aileron extension of some kind. 
As far as I know, only later-model ships have tended to have the 
polyhedral, and from what I understand its more about preventing 
wingtip scrapes (easier to leave the wingtip skid on the non-removable 
part of the wing) or requiring a beefy spar in the tip exension (to 
handle ground loads) than anything else. 
 
Enjoy,
