COMMENTS: Wing Tips: Optional "Gull Wing" Tips Can Built Into The Wing Using
            The Included Wood, Templates and Building Instructions.
            The Optional Wing Tips Give an Approximate 40° Upward Slant
            That Eliminates a "Roll Coupling From Rudder". The Model Will Just
            Yaw Upon Rudder Application, Without the Need to use
            Opposite Aileron to Correct a Roll Couple.
