Well, JD at SWTA came through! He found the STC and a manufacturer to make me the wingtip lenses, cheaper than the stuff on Knots2U too. Lead time is 3-4 weeks because it's an under produced part but hopefully I'll have nice new lenses in a month. Thanks for the leads. If you're not familiar with JD Casteel at Southwest Texas Aviation he was very kind and good to work with. SWTA.net or on Facebook.

Hi all, my new to me 1979 J- model (serial 0905) has an STC (SA7609SW) for Texas Composites, Inc wingtips that was installed in 1995. Both of the lenses covering the lights are cracked, one just around the screw holes which will be manageable for some time, the other is cracked right down the middle and needs replacement. I can't find these and believe they are likely a slightly different shape than the LASAR tips or other tips that came from factory on later J models. They do not have recognition lights. Anyone else out there have these wingtips and had success finding lenses? I contacted a 3D printing company about scanning and printing new lenses, but they want $2500 just for the scan. I might as well get new wingtips. I tried tracking the company Texas Composites, Inc but the larger corporation that bought them out doesn't respond to me. Donovan

That's a good idea, thank you. I'll search the Bay Area for that.

I'm looking for a CFI with acces to a J model that could give me a few hours of instruction transition training while I'm hunting for my own. I'm in the Redding Area, KRDD. Any recommendations?

Beautiful looking and very well setup. Will be nice purchase for someone!

Sounds like it will be over my budget but do you have a price point and any teaser photos?
