The movable surfaces at the rear of the wing are not "tips"; the tips are the outboard ends of the wings furthest away from where the people sit. What you referred to as the "tips" of the wings were movable control surfaces, the outboard ones being ailerons, the inboard being flaps. Also the "rear wing" is called the horizontal stabilizer, and the movable surfaces on there are called the elevator. That portion of the plane is also called the empennage or tail, and it also includes the vertical stabilizer and rudder.

Also, the rear parts of the wing and tail are called the "trailing edge" while the (usually) more rounded part at the front end is the "leading edge".
thanks for the input and hopefully the folks get the gist of what can be accomplished by seeing the photos. Its the photos not the terminology that will gain new clients, put point taken. Thanks for the input. Again this is our 3rd plane, so terminology is not quite there yet...but in dew time and your help we will be plane terminology pros!
