    Default Wing Clipping a model 3

    Hello. I have a model 3 with 80 hp 912. I would really like to clip my wings and change the wing tips to increase roll rate. The wing has plenty of lift im willing to sacrafice alittle rate of climb. I was wondering if anybody had any advise or info they could share? Upgrading to a newer kitfox with a different wing is not really a option right now.

    Kitfox3,
    I have time in all the fox models, I would not fear cutting the wing on a 3 the birds are well ballanced. If done carefully you could use the pieces to build extensions like the newer wings have. I have built some for my four but like the way the shorter wings fly and land even at higher elevations. Extensions are used when going camping or other heavy loads are needed.
