Floppy.
Ok Its probably just my head thats the wrong shape (or too big
) I'll try it again on one of our early 80's aircraft next time Im at work.
Anyhow Expidite is right its a moot point. You cant see them in normal ops anyhow. Just makes it a bit of a bummer to be responsible. still thats aviation for ya.
Old aeroplane I used to fly had lights down from each wingtip (canted out and forward.) So at night at least you could always see a 12"X2" rectangle of light. Made it easy to work out where the wingtip was going to go. Shame I've never seen it elsewhere.
