Wing Skids

Wing Skids

Wing Skids are protective tip guards fitted to the wingtips of RC aircraft to prevent damage during ground handling, taxiing, and low-wing landings where a wingtip may contact the ground. A simple and lightweight addition that can save your wing covering and structure from costly repairs.

• Material: Lightweight plastic / nylon
• Application: Wingtip protection on RC aircraft – low-wing trainers, sport planes, and scale models
• Function: Protects wingtip covering and structure from abrasion and impact during ground contact
• Mounting: Screw or epoxy fixed to wingtip
• Compatible With: Balsa, foam, and composite RC aircraft wingtips
• Weight: Ultralight – negligible impact on aircraft balance and AUW

A small investment that pays for itself on the first tip-low landing — wing skids keep your wingtips looking pristine and protect the covering and structure from the inevitable ground contact that comes with low-wing flying.
