A little wingtip help...

[Edfrombama]

Good morning to all-

Although I AM getting better at my flying, it seems that even on "good landings" I often get some wingtip contact with the landing surface. Some of my foamy wingtips are getting ragged-looking. Do any of you fellers have a product which can be applied to foamy wingtips to help protect them from abrasion?
I've tried dabs of hot glue- ugly, but OK. I've tried small strips of adhesive tape, not too effective.
Any help is appreciated.

you all be safe and keep well- Ed

Good morning Ed, I would give this a try.
It is thick and will run fairly quick so you need to use the UV light quick or direct sunlight.
I use it on my fish I build and I purchased it from Amazon.

Ed, these work great!

Dubrow Wing Tip Skids

Now that I think about it, your flying micros and the Dubrow skids might be to big. but you could get the same effect my cutting down some servo horns or something similar.

I thought making some from plastic or 3d printing them might work but I'm no pilot.
Good luck and happy landings!!!
