Default RE: minimizing effects of wind gusts

You can try adding some winglets at the wingtips for more stability. Some say they work pretty well:

I use the bubble version as seen in the secon link. They do improve stability but i built them rather large so the added drag draws an extra 200-300 miliAmps from the batteries during a P13 flight.
