Default RE: Wing Tip Stabilizer Mod

Seriously, a couple of wooden toothpicks inserted into holes that pin the fins in place is more than enough for flight loads assuming a lack of flutter. And toothpicks would provide at least a chance of letting the fins break away in an "arrival" or a tip over. If the fins work loose over time a U of monokote or other covering over the stub end will restore the friction fit enough so they don't actually wobble.
