I hope the initial impression lasts and they sell a thousand of Turbinators, but I just can’t understand the continued use of those backwards tip tanks in the Boomerang lineup and am even more surprised that those bass-ackwards units have now infected the Turbinator family. Perhaps it’s just me. I hope it’s just me, even…but i find those tips simply cringe worthy.

Hello Gents, the tip tanks you speak of are useful at protecting the wing tips from runway rash, particularly if you're flying off asphalt. Most newcomers will scrape their wings at some point...They're also a visual aid if you have low light conditions, or are flying at distance. On some models they can also tame down the roll rate, again good for beginner jet pilots. Most modellers could make them removable too....

DMehalko - good choice in aircraft, one of our fellow club members learnt on the same airframe over 10 years ago with complete success. After watching your video I would recommend filling the aft-fuselage lighting holes with light-weight balsa if you're hell-bent on glassing and painting. A glassed/painted airframe is relatively easy to accomplish and will look much cleaner both when new and more importantly in the long term. Careful choice and placement of remaining components will help in getting the CG to the correct location.
