DC-3’s were smartly designed with the wingtip as an integral bolt on/off wingsection. The tip could easily be replaced in case damage occurred. This feature makes it a most practical “spare part”, that kept serviceability high during the massive wartime operations, whereby the planes were parked wing to wing, making the tips vulnerable.The conversion to a desk is executed by the mounting of 2 aluminum bars underneath, on which 4 mirror polished aluminum legs are fixed with 3 allen-bolts per leg. A sturdy and smooth construction, fully in style and balance with the wingtips marvellous design. For the conversion into this desk, the wing is turned upside down, in order to bring the flat side and the navigation light on top, while the less practical curved side comes on the underside.
This wingtip captures best the style of the pre-war aviation designs, with its elliptical forms plus the hundreds of protruding rivet-heads. Available in Left-hand(LH) or Right-hand(RH) wing side. The picture shows a RH wingtip. Standard size 230 cm length x 150 cm width ( 7'8"x 5')
The wingtip is also available in a shorter version at 196 cm length
