[rebel-builders] Elite elevator tip mod

Definitely worth doing - it looks better, and everyone I know who's done it
says it improves the pitch stability and makes the handling much nicer.
I'll try and dig out some pictures and send them direct to you.

I am getting ready to modify the elevator tips of Elite 709E. What
width should I use for the aerodynamic balancing horns?
It would be a lot easier to keep the tips square instead of rounding
them as some have suggested. What are the pros and cons of rounding
versus leaving square? How does one round the tips? What radius?
Can the old ribs be used or do new ones have to be made? Do new
skins have to be made if the tips are rounded?
Thanks in advance.
