Has anyone seen a 3d plane such as an extra or an edge 540 with side force generators on the wingtip?
if so can you show me the link. i have an edge 540 33% and want to install one. i hear that it will help stabalize the plane in knife edge and harriers. thanks

Saw them on a 33% H9 Extra, but not on the tips, in the middle of the wing like a ST.

I did the F1 Spoiler/Wing thing on a Vision, like CPLR did on his pattern bird and it KE so much better now. Slow and fast, but it doesn't require the rudder some SFG planes need to turn.

Sorry I don't have a better pic, hmmmmmmmmmmm?

Just kinda eyeballed the size, I donno, however it works.

that looks cool. thanks for the reply though. I thought i saw a picture in the Model Aviation AMA Magazine that had 33% extra with them on the wing tips. it was last months edition or the month before that. i lost my copy somehow, anyway thats what inspired me to do this. just wanna make sure im doing it right.
