Where did you find the glue tips? I use a lot of CA glue and am forever changing the tips.
EDIIT: nevermind bro, if we set our minds to something, we can do anything.
I love Amazon.:D
Honestly, I've never thought about upgrading glue tips.
You ever try one of these?

I used to grind the top of the eye off a sewing needle to make the same tool. Then jam the needle in a 1/4" dowel rod. Came in very handy.
 
Pretty cheap for 200 of them.
When building my planes, I've always used a combination of CA glue and wood glue.
I use the CA glue just to hold the parts together tight until the wood glue sets up.
Thin CA glues is terrible to use but works. It runs so badly yet so good if that makes sense.
I hate the little tips that come with the glue.
 
Never have, looks interesting.
They apply a drop at a time. And it works like the old caligraphy pens via capillary action. You can drag out very thin lines of glue with it. I have often thought of trying it with tire gluing, because it's even more precise than fine tips. You don't get that extra hard squeeze pouring glue everywhere. I highly recommend one if you're doing any fine gluing. Just clean with acetone afterwards. They last forever.

Or try the sewing needle trick. Works just as good.

That's what happens when an RC company gets bought out by a manufacturer of silly little Japanese toy dolls. They even make underwear and stuff for their dolls.
