Default Modifying Carf Classic Flash wing tips to "sleek" UF style

Hello guys,

i read somewhere that before the UF came out, some people modified their Classic Flash wingtips to "sleek" look by cutting off the pylons, and forming new wing tips, kinda like the UF wing tips come now adays.
does anyone have someinfo / pics of this mod?

thanks.

Just my 2 cents, but I wouldn't be so quick at cutting off those pylon tanks.

The classic flash flies a little different than the UF but it flies great. And those pylons make it easier to see and carry around.

Also the classic lands a little more 'draggy' more like a conventional jet. The UF is more like a pattern plane.

I love them both, have flown them both. Just my own personal opinion but I would not want to cut the ones off mine. Just saying ...

Agree, I like my tip tanks, especially with the lights I installed
