Smashed my cougar into a thousand pieces yesterday after the wind cuaght me whilst tail touching
! I have started to build a new fus, but the wing is ok apart from tips! I am forever building wing tips from smashing them whilst doing touch and go's etc. What would the plane be like if i left them off would it be ok?
The roll rate will be quicker but how else will it effect the plane.
Thanks Rob

tips.... help save the wing when you fall out of a hover.
leave them on, just make up some new ones from 3/8th soft balsa with lighting holes.
orrrrrr.... you could loop some carbon fibre around, then they'd take a knock or two.
