I agree that the aileron tip mod is a good thing, but sounds like a lot of
work. Typical German Engineering solution. I've always done the same thing with
a couple pieces of gap seal tape stuck to the outboard tip of the driving

In FMS there are ways to adjust thermal strength and frequency of
bubbles. In addition by manipulating the screen resolution, colors, and
control sensitivity, you can achieve realistic flight or ridiculously
easy flight. The scale ships that Ken designs are the best I have seen
designed for FMS any
