With my Madras tips the airspeed indicator stops working long before the stall. The stall is soft with with almost no buffeting. They were on the plane when I bought it. I didn't like the look at first but I'm growing used to them now. Never flown a 150G without them but slow flight seems improved over the 152's I've flow in the past.

James, I started to install them today and the transformers for the strobes interferes with the installation. I am turning the transformers horizontally to fit the tips. need to know if you may have had the same issues. When I do that they fit. They are Novastar Strobes 1980 time frame.

Terrence, the Aeroflash transformers (the ones that were installed by Cessna) were mounted horizontally on a mounting plate mounted to the rib. I've not tried mounting Hoerner tips over them, but I suspect the horizontal mounting would be necessary, even for my stock conical tips.

Yes that worked. My mechanic said it was ok and we put them on today. kinda miss the droopies though.

My A/P installed them while I was out of town so do not know how they did it or what problems they may have had if any..
