Default Bad boy V2 mod.

I decided to modify my v2 badboy this weekend. After breaking the winglets several times and flying with them busted or hanging up in the airflow, I decided to completely remove them. To my suprise it flew much better without them. Harriers went from bad wing rock to very little. The ailerons had more authority and it knife edged better (reduced pitch and roll coupling). I also think it looks better.

Here's a few pics:

Lucky I have a day off tomorrow. I've thought about doing it for a while but havent really heard much about how they affect it. If it makes it harrier better and nothing else I'll be very happy.

Forgot to ask. Have you sealed those wingtips with clear covering? It's hard to tell from the pics.
