Hi Greg, I suggest keeping those tips, perhaps doing some work as
needed. They look really great with light passing through them and
will hold up fine. Epoxy in place, then put some tape on the joint.
I agree with Brent that the plane will launch really well and with a
bit of camber hang reasonably well. Since you indicate you are still
gaining experience with full house sailplanes, I'd be sure to get
some help setting it up. It will snap and spin if the cg is too far
back or if you get greedy on the elevator stick.
I still have mine for sale with 341 on ruddervaters, 368s on flaps,
voltz wingmax on ailerons, JR 770 rcvr. Can deliver to the NATS.
Email off line if anyone is interested

Talk about blast from the past... I've had one of these kits

basement for years and I thought I've finally apply enough
sandpaper, epoxy,

This is the original with the funky wingtips made of an upper and
lower
fiberglass molding that are joined poorly. I intend to use them as
models
and carve a replacement set out of balsa, then glass them.
Besides that, any other cautions or suggestions?
Anyone have a spare set of those wingtips that are reasonably
constructed
that they want to get rid of?
