I love the GP stick arfs, but the wingtips are junk along with the covering job (if you got the shelf paper version) I have owned several of these and whenever I get a new one, the first thing I do when I get it out of the box is re-cover it and throw away the plastic from the wing tips and stab tips. you can leave the tips square and cover them as they are or, if you really want the tipped look even though it will not affect the flight caracteristics, you can glue on a triangular piece of balsa and cover over it.
