If you pre-curve the balsa sheeting for the tips, it won't sag.  To 
pre-curve it, simply find a form of large enough diameter, wet out the wood 
a bit with a damp rag, then tape the wood to form. Let it dry and there you 
go, no sag.

My friend tried the mods suggested on the charles river site.
he used 1/32 balsa out on the top surfaces of the wing tips, but still had 
the
balsa droop between ribs.
has anyone ever tried using turbulators instead??
I realize this may slow this airfoil down, but in my application, would 
trade
speed for stability in turns and for very lite air days.
