Garage clearout, new with some hangar rash, $50. I couldnt pass it up!

However it is missing all the hardware

Anyone know of a supplier that sells it all in 1 kit? I would think a lot of the hardware is the same for many brands of imac type aircraft.
Do you suggest I contact seagull for this or is there better options?

Its also missing the wing joiner tube...Ill need that too

Im not a newb to aircraft, however it my first large scale airplane

Thanks!

I don't know where you're located but you can call Eagle hobbies in Suffolk Virginia I guarantee he has all those parts

There are wing tube suppliers on line. You just need an accurate measurement. As far as the hardware. Seagull is a decent plane but their hardware was a weak point. RTL Fasteners can get you good quality stuff for a decent price. You may have to buy more than you need but still come out cheaper than buying bits and pieces at many places.

Yea Seagull quoted me $6 for the hardware and that does seem rather cheap! And 6 times that for shipping!
So I think Ill go sullivan or Dubro at minimum.

I have sourced everything except the linkage rods. I need 2 of each, 146mm/6inches, 45mm/2inches, 3mm or 4/40. I would like them turnbuckle style, with the molded in nut for adjustment
Im pretty sure the Hanger 9 30cc stick wing tube will work but have yet to verify

Thanks all!

Race Day Quads sells 12” lengths of Stainless Steel 4/40 rods, I just recently used them on my 30cc Giles G-202 by cutting the lengths I needed for all my linkages, it was easy to do and worked out great.
Here is a couple pictures of it before and after several flights.

For high stress pushrods, carbon fiber tubing over threaded rod works great, is no heavier than just the threaded rod.....
