Ahh all them tipless birds.

I cut the tips off my first Flip at the Flying field. Xacto knife and clear tape. Since I didn't have the right tools to do the ailerons correctly, I just left the trailing edge and the ailerons as they came. I liked the way it flew, so I just left it that way. Flip 2,3 and 4 were all done the same way.

Great conversation starter at the flying field. At Joe Nall this year, several people thought it was some form of special 3d mod I did. Just couldn't tell them I was just lazy.

My new 3D plane I am designing does not have tips either.
