Advantages

• Significantly reduced power off rate of decent.
• Reduced stall speed, with wing tips as low as 38 mph.
• Better take off performance particularly on the water with flaps down.
• Better hot weather and high altitude performance.
• No reduction in cruise speed.
• Improved low speed performance - Wing plug allows cleaner air across the prop and tail surfaces at full flap configurations.
• Improved propeller performance in full flap configurations.· The "plug" moves the flap outboard so that there is now clean air across the prop in full flap configurations.
• Reduction in forward pitching moment in full flap configurations.

We highly recommend this option when converting to a larger engine and propeller configuration.  The combination of the larger engine and propeller with the extended wings creates a Seabee that has to be flown to be appreciated.
