Hi,

I'm planning on designing & building my own .40 size 3D plane (stealing heavily from other designs), and was wondering if I could get some advice on something?

I notice on many ARF planes (Laser 3D, Flip 3D, etc.) people saying that they fly better if the wing tips are removed. Is this true? Would it be best to just have my wings end at the last rib, rather that adding some kind of built up wing tip, to make it look better?

Any other advice you would like to share on ideas to incorporate into my design, to improve the flight characteristics, would be greatly appreciated. I know weight seems to be the main thing to watch out for in any 3D design.

Thanks,

Mark
