Wing/Stab Tips. Flat or Rounded?
 
Hi guy's,

I am finally getting my second ZN line Twister together and going electric 2M for the first time [X(]

So with regards to the subject title, are there any pro's - cons for either option? I am at the "tips fitted & profile shaped" stage an kinda like the look as they are before I start to round them up. Any good or bad suggestions for either before I carry on would be really welcomed [8D]

As for set-up, I have chosen the Axi 5330 / Jeti Spin 99 Opto route and plan on using the Rhino 4900's. JR DSM and JR servo's all driven from a TP 730 Lipo and Powerbox Digi switch.

Many thanks in advance,

Andy.

Purely cosmetic for our needs. You wont notice any flight characteristic differences.

That's odd. The Red bull racers claim that rounding the tips of their planes has slightly increased their speed.[8D]

On full scale planes it would make a difference, but on our's the numbers are nowhere near the same. I used to like the looks of the flat tips I had on an Escape.
