I think the RC would fly better with both wingtips! Don't need any more pucker factor landing the RC version. I get enough of that each landing now!

By the way I grew up in your neighborhood in Baytown, TX. The wingtip even occurred south of Wichita Falls, TX where I was based at Sheppard AFB. A local rancher returned the both wingtips back to the base about a month later. The Air Force awarded me a ball point pen for saving the jet. As they say... the reward for a job well done is no punishment!
