    Warbird wing tips. A way to save the paint when it wing tips over.

    Just something that works very well, if you should accidentally have one of the wingtips hit your runway. Sometimes the wind is a big factor, it can tip a wing just sitting there. Clear Gorilla tape works excellent. Keep those wings looking fresh. Wal-mart or is where you can purchase.

    Great idea Matt! Never thought of that to be honest. Nice, clean way to help out those wing tips when the time arises.

      I was looking for the LX build. Do you have a link? Thank you, "Sir"!

        Are you talking about your LX P-40 build thread? It's here...

        I'm getting closer to the completion of the LX model P-40 Warhawk. Although my Russian build friends told me, I should hide certain parts from my wife. I don't understand why.

          I've use associated RC car chassis protector sheet for years, about 40. A lot thicker than Gorilla Tape and very slick and hard to wear, but not as easy to find.

              When you end up with a War bird with Narrow gear, and it ends up being hard to keep from tipping the wing tip I just put on a set of these. Some RC War Birds are notorious for tipping after landing no matter How great your Piloting skills These work great

                    Wow, Air Traffic Control must have been very stressful at times. I think that a big Accomplishment type of work to have experienced. It's really awesome to see what people have accomplished in their life here on the Motion RC website.
