A simple, replaceable wingtip skid for RC airplanes/gliders. I put these on my new 2m sailplane which has a big main wheel and small tail wheel so I could land on our club's paved runway without messing up the underside of my wingtips.
My sailplane's wingtip is kinda thin, so I didn't cut out a recessed area in the wing, but instead just glued them right on the surface. The two mounting screws for the actual skid itself penetrate into the foam some which helps hold them in place as well. I
