Tip Plates?
Ralph, Ed Moorman of RC Report had an article last year I think that got me started on them, maybe he will join in on this.
As I said, I have this thing about flying slow at times, but don't care about the park flyers. With the plates in place either plane could be made to almost stand still in the slightest breeze and with a slight wind fly backwards.
Both are comfortable to fly 6" off the ground all around the field at about 2 clicks above idle. While both planes, stock, are capable of very slooooooooow landing speeds, with the plates it is just float them in like a silk scarf falling.
I need to add that both were built with small servos and powered with OS 32SX with small battery packs.
I wanted to try the plates on an Ultra Stick 60 but put it in and busted up the fuse. Guess this may encourage me to get it back flying again and make the mod.

Just to add, both planes would hover and then pull verticle althought the dazzler was no rocket ship. Lighter and balanced sure does fly good. Not sure why so many folks think mega (heavy) motor is needed.
