Wing tips are one of the harder parts to do well. After using my 200 degree iron to seal partway up the leading edge and wing tip I switch to the hotter iron now turned up to 285 (probably needs to be hotter for Monokote) and heat and stretch the material over the curves. The curve where the leading edge meets the wing tip is the toughest part. Once smoothed past the center line the excess is trimmed off and then the main part of the piece is shrunk and sealed with the gun, You need enough excess material at the wing tip to be able to grab onto it and pull without burning your self with the iron. The heat gun can also be used to heat while you stretch but then burning yourself is almost a certain thing!
