Subsequent to the Fox's spin-and-crash episode, I was told by someone that they always added wingtip washout to their models by bending the wingtip a down.
Now, this isn't necessary for most of the planes I fly, but in the case of the Fox this definitely sounded like good advice. However, with the Fox having balsa wings, it's not quite so easy.
However I managed, with a bit of "cutting-and-shutting" to add a little washout, and it seemed to improve the Fox's behaviour under load and at lower speed. It was a bit difficult to fully evaluate it in an unfamiliar environment, however I will be putting the Fox through its paces to assess it further...
