<DIV>Terry this is another area that makes no difference as far as I can tell.

<DIV>Used to spend days carving the tip blocks and hollowing then down to the
gnats eyelash, getting them perfect, then the instant a cross gust would tilt my
wing on a landing approach and I'd scrape the tip, instant assymetry. Balsa
would ge damaged significantly and I would have to repair</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>About 3 years I started gluing a simple flat plate made of lite ply to
serve as wing tip and have been doing that since, it worked that well for me.
The inevitable runway scrape, doesn't do anywhere near the damage, so its a win
both ways. Lightweight too</DIV>

<DIV>Ok! Let's open another can of worms.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Pros and cons on flat plate wing tips vs. nicely rounded ones!</DIV>
<DIV>I prefer the looks of the rounded tips, and find them easier to cover
with Monokote, but they give just one more point where a difference from one
wing to the other could creep in and cause some minor flight annomolies.</DIV>
