I don't own the airplane any longer. I recall the airplane had droop tips, but not as dramatically drooped as Horton, and I frankly don't know if they are stock or not, sorry. The mod also requires a leading edge cuff, and it does *not* use the same boot as the stock airplane, so you would have to replace your leading edge boots as well.

The RSTOL mod also makes signficant mods inside the wing to make the ailerons droop when the flaps are extended. There is also a modification to provide an elevator downspring when the flaps are extended. The RSTOL mod is not a small thing, but it is very effective. If you need the best possible short field performance, it is the ticket. If you don't need 500' takeoff and landing runs, then the RSTOL mod could well be overkill.
