David Stembridge Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I have just had my 2nd lesson and 6th flight. Despite the best efforts of my instructor I pranged it. The wing is a write off but every thing else seems to have survived. Can I buy a wing or should I buy a complete kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Meredith Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 always disheartening when this happens, your instructor prob feels as gutted as you, when im teaching someone i always tell the pupil keep it two mistakes high, give me time to catch it, whenever i have lost one its always been on landing trainig, low passes down the runway, wings are probably available but would probably cost as much as a new kit, taking into account the packing and postage, the advantage of a new kit would be at little extra cost,, all the spare parts that would be left over from the old trainer, phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Lewzey Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 If you want a new wing go to the ripmax website (www.ripmax.com) and type Z-IRVTUT40/01 into the search. A new wing set costs £39.99.Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Stembridge Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Thanks for the help have ordered new wing set using the info supplied by Jonathan. Will remember the 2 mistakes high rule thanks Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Collins Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Personally I would get a new kit and keep the fuselage as a spare. That way, if the worst happens, you'll have a spare fuselage to get you flying again quickly.This is assuming that the price of the wing is close to the price of the whole kit.
