Let's delve into the world of advanced aerodynamic modifications for enhancing the performance of our RC planes. From vortex generators to winglet extensions, there are many techniques to explore. I'm curious to hear about your experiences with aerodynamic modifications and any noticeable improvements in flight characteristics. Additionally, what tools and materials do you use for prototyping and implementing these modifications?

I've experimented with adding vortex generators along the wings and fuselage to improve airflow control and reduce drag. Additionally, winglet extensions have proven effective in minimizing induced drag and enhancing stability, especially during high-speed maneuvers. When prototyping aerodynamic modifications, I typically use lightweight materials like foam board or carbon fiber for ease of shaping and durability.
