Default Cougar 2000 wing tips!

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

ive done it. till i did a full power "wall" with flaps mixed in and the wing parted company with the fuz. a few things about it then

good points:
~Rolls are just mad

Bad points:
~Ugly
~some stbility is lost int he hover

i personally wouldnt do it. there are more reasons y not to do it which i had in my mind before i started typing but my mind has wondered and ive fogoten....

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.
