Default fed up with extreme flight

this is the 2nd and last plane i buy from them. they never seem to have the spare parts in stock. look at their site and see how many parts for the various planes are on "backorder". i have been waiting for months for a set of blue pants for the 70"extra. when you call it's the same i don't know when answer.

Well you may never get them,,

Consider how ARFs are produced, they make "production runs", if EF has enough demand for that color scheme plane they may order a new "run" of those,, at that time they'll likely order extra parts. But no ARF company is going to order just a couple sets of wheel pants from a producer, it would just be too expensive.

You're better off getting the right size from a Great Planes ARF or Fiberglass Specialties that's in stock and paint it to match,,, you could be waiting for ever

good luck

At least you have a chance you may get a replacement part. For years there was no such thing.We would scavenge parts from previous builds. Hobbyists are spoiled now.

For the price you pay for replacement parts from the suppliers, You could order a set of Graphtec carbon fiber wheel pants,
they look awesome and save weight
