    Hi SnaprollTX,

    I suggest you contact the manufacturer directly. They have the complete STC list. Here is the phone number for Texas Aeroplastics:

    817-430-3651

    Cessna changed the wing to add a leading edge cuff with the 'P' model, so the current Hoerner wing tips will not fit that wing.

    I added them to my C175B and was amazed at the 10 mph reduction in stall speed, 40 mph with 30 degrees flaps.

    AND, a 1+ gph reduction in fuel use at 60% power, with the lower drag.!!!
