Part of the undocumented "how to build the F1" lore here with EPP flying wings is monokote/ultracote over the wings too. these shrink-on/glue-on surfaces significantly reduce the torsion moment of the tip. Does it make you invulnerable? no. is it a lot more torsion-resistant than packing tape? yes, absolutely noticeably so and it repaired model #2 when it started to get real flappy and increased the handling speed quite a bit. not equipping model #1 or 2 with ultrakote was a mistake from the start and it probably significantly contributed to the flap/torsion getting going.
